Help Me!!!

ok... I just put on my new BOV (TURBOXS H34) about four days ago... today... I am driving along... and for some reason my boost will only climb about half way up the guage (i haven't installed my autometer yet)... I THINK maybe one of the resistance washers may be holding the BOV open... but it is dark and I am not going to tear into it til' tomorrow... no drivability problems... just only like half boost... spools up plenty fast... but boost stops building at what I would assume to be about 6 or 7 psi... am I on the right track... what should I do first tomorrow??

check for a boost leak, that sounds like a higher possability.

sorry... I fixed it this morning... the BOV piston froze in the cylinder... they don't tell you in the install instructions to lubricate the innerwall of the cylinder... so metal on metal... sliding... you do the math... the BOV piston proze about halfway open... so I pulled it out... added a little syntec... and it's better than new...
