because the car isnt idling correctly and then i changed it to a greddy bov and it worked perfectly also turbonetics said that the older kits have a tighter spring
also the sound is really terrible not what its suppose to be

ok, so when they said that the older kits has tighter spring, did they follow up with a "but dont worry we will gladly ship you a new BOV in no time!" ??? How tight is your BOV anyway?? is it too hard when you push the spring inside??...mines is like that too.
...I also just got my turbo kit, and theyre missing gaskets! i called them and told them about it and didnt get a reply back if theyre gonna send me gaskets, been waiting a week now since i called...WTF! And no i aint buying gaskets, if it says complete kit, its better be a complete kit for $4,800!!

MIAPLAYA what can you say about this, man??
