Well... Im sure you know BOV's & INTAKE's are both deadly tools. U'll see that all over the subaru forums online. Best of luck. If its not the boost solenoid or vacuum hoses, i would quickly look into calling GST or Gruppe-s or ANY tuner in this matter. Phone calls are quick answers im tellin ya.

you most likely didn't tighten something down, put the stock stuff back on, and be sure to tighten everything, if you get boost, put each piece on individually. You'll either find the part that is faulted, or you'll find that you didn't have something tightened down (=
