either a boost leak at the bov or you have no idea what your doing...

take a pic of your engine bay with the greddy bov and your "JDM" intake.
AGGREED!!!
 
haha... Well look at the problem. When the turbo kicks in... it jerks. This is the same common problem EVERYONE has... its a boost leak. Obviously from the BOV flange. Its the last thing that he changed. its not a leak on the intake side... because it doesnt have to hold boost. And someone brought a point as "JDM" on ebay.... ebay is a very known place to slap on JDM for a title and other company's names on parts just to push them to people who would fall for them... the only thing JDM about the intake pipe is if it actually came from the evo III in japan... which would be a rubber maid play kids pipe that we already get in our cars from the show room. No offense or anything. I don't know if you have an upgraded UICP or your using the GReddy flange, but its definatly a leak. I know the stock BOV had a big thick rubber elastic around it that would keep a seal. If you have a stock UICP, I would DEFINATLY check that and maybe tighten it.

yes i did, but if i vent it to the atmosphere it does the same thing too.

Another reason I'd have to agree that it's a boost leak. It's metering all the air going in, the motor's just not seeing all the air, it goes rich and jerks. DO A LEAK TEST!!! It's not that hard, just SEARCH and let us know how it all goes. Good Luck with it!!!!!
 
I'm going to agree that it is a boost leak. It has to be coming from the intake piping too, since that's the only thing you've been messing with. Check to make sure all the hoses are tightened properly. Don't vent the BOV, make sure it's recirculated...I know you said it is, but I was quickly reading through other people's responses, and I happened to catch the words "vented BOV", so, yeah. Good luck.

(Oh, and also...It's nice to see that no one in here is making fun of him for asking these questions. Just because someone needs to ask how to do something doesn't mean they need to be flamed! You're a great bunch of guys and gals in here! :D)

Maybe he should talk in complete thoughts and actually start forming some sentences. Just a thought, but from what it sounds like kevingmorales has got a hint of "rice" in his blood buying into the "jdm cai" bs that goes down on ebay. My advice for you is not to cut corners, dont beat on your car constantly, dont go and race every person you see, and dont drive around revving up so your "show-off valve" can make that sweet sound. Just save up for the parts, get the legit stuff and have a nice fun car to drive around in. When you said you did plugs and wires did you do an oil and oil filter change? O and BTW a fuel filter is no more than 15 bucks, couldnt hurt to get one, although its most likely a boost leak.
