UPDATE
Ok fellas,
Went all out today... basically went over the whole kit.. un-tightened and re-tightened everything.. replaced the header gaskets and the turbo flange gasket.
Also installed a few gauges and finished the EBC.
It fired right up!! Went for a ride and saw 8.79 PSI. No boost spike nothing! just shoots and holds.
it pulls like hell now!!! and its not even tuned! I did 2-3 WOT pulls but thats its, till I get retuned!
I can now hear my bov at partial throttle!! It is definitely alive in the lower RPM band. Just needs to get tuned so its even better

Great news Vas! I knew it was just a matter of making sure it is all nice and tight.
Now you know what I am talking about, when I say the car pulls very hard past 3500rpm.
Looking forward to the dyno results.

Yup, that is the sound I hear every time I drive the car. Can never get enough...my BOV is Tial though so a bit quieter. I do like the the way the HKS sounds there though...
I do have to say that it is weird seing the kit on another car.
Your 67mm should be in this week. At that point I will see how the S compressor cover fits under there. I will have to do a bit of magic with the intake since it is a 4". I will post pics in a new thread once I get it in.
