Huge problems after intake installation

[DsmKid98GST]

I installed my intake and after the installation my car was acting like it couldn't breathe or get air into the engine. It wanted to stall out when i was driving and i couldn't give it gas. Everything is connected, all hoses attached, the air sensor is plugged in and all the clamps are tight. I.. need help im stumpted thank you

First thing to look for is the intake pipe connection at the turbo. It seems to me you've got air coming through the MAS, but it's not making it into the turbo, and throwing the A/F way out of whack. This has definitely caused head aches for me before when a stock intake tube rips. If this is all in spec at the turbo side AND the MAF side (check your bov is connected or plugged if venting to atmosphere), then take the intake off again, and make sure you didn't leave anything in the inlet of the turbo. if it's a stock intake, make sure the rubber spacer piece that goes over the inlet of the compressor cover isn't blocking or sucked into the turbo.

Let us know if this doesn't fix your problem or point you in the right direction!

Thanks,
Curt

I checked all the lines. Everything is good. Turbo looks clean and clear of debris. The only problem i noticed was the BOV has a leaking sound and i can hear and feel air coming form it. How do i go about keeping in the air? I tightned the clamps to their fullest and the tubes are fastened. Any ideas?

I'm guessin you have a Stock BOV? If you think you have a leak then is a great opportunity to upgrade your BOV. Get a 1G BOV for like 30bucks or so better than retail price of aftermarket BOVs ($200up) and it functions better than your stock 2G.
Post some pics of your intake maybe we can see any other problems if is not the BOV.

Are you trying to vent your bov to the atmosphere? You say that you can feel air coming out of the bov. Did you block off the port on the intake where it used to vent into? GreddyGST is correct, that stock piece is a joke. You can go as simple as buying an adaptor that will fit into your stock pipe and buy a used 1G BOV as he suggested. You could also buy a Forge Motorsport BOV, which is designed to fit directly into your stock piping. There are tons of options, get a hard upper IC pipe and install any bov you want including a stock 1G.
