2. My car feels slower than before. even my girlfriend said something about it being slower!! it is not the fastest evo but i have ran a 8.3 1/8 mile so its not slow!!!
please help, i like the sound of the greddy but i'm to the point where i want my stock bov back!!!
Mods

no same sound as stock. Take the bov back off take it back apart and check the spring the seat and reinstall. Also do you have the line from the intake manifold going to the top nipple or bottom and do you have either one plugged?
