Did you have the check valve installed backwards?

I would rather beat my head against a wall until I passed out than deal with that.

I recommend programming your ECU to read boost. That way you could have a properly tuned, well running car. Go here: http://www.pgmfi.org

I have had very good success tuning my car with Crome.

You can also try Uberdata: http://www.ecimulti.org/uberdata/
