put your stocker BOV back on and see if that helps, also like Andrew says make sure the correct green wire was selected for bridging the boost control solenoid. It is Pin #11 on the large ECU connector.

I've had the same symptoms in a SAAB turbo due to head gasket and cracking problems. Worth a look...

You definitely have the wrong green wire - you unhooked the CAS if I remember the pinout correctly, my car did the exact same thing. Make sure you use the green wire from the OPPOSITE side of the clamp release (as shown in that picture - the serated edge of the clip is where you want to be looking).

Just do this...
With the car (poorly) idling, blip the throttle (don't thrash it) if you see clouds of raw fuel and black smoke belching out of the tailpipe you have the XEDE boost control incorrectly installed. If not remove the BOV and put the stocker back in. If those two suggestions don't solve it then start checking things like your MAF sensor, make sure it is fully plugged in, make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks etc etc.

have you checked your cam gears? one of mine wasn't tight before and it advanced all the way, i had the same sort of issues that you are having.
also, the SSQ doesn't make one solid woosh sound, it actually sounds like you are choking a retard, especially if its vented back to the intake.
my bet is the xede or your cam gear has spun.

I got it all fixed today the cam gears where marked weird and they were 2 teeth off but its running good now, i have to remap the boost tommarow cuz iam running 11psi max and iam runnin of the wastegate pressure instead of the XEDE boost , fixing that and iam returing the SSQV put the stock one on and getting the JDM MR taillights.

Oh yeah, those MR tails rock! Good move
