i know it sounds stupid but did you run a vac line to it. ? how much boost were you running when it didnt open?
stupid, but could deff be related if something was overlooked

if you take the BOV off and try and push it open , will it open? Could have some surface rust or something or something sticking. If it doesnt open by hand, maybe spray some lube in there and loosen some **** up in there
Find the adjustability of it though. If there is no **** or screw it might need washers or lack of

post a pic of it?
I think with like the Turbo XS style ones you take off the top of the BOV and put the washers over the spring and thne put the top back on?
I dunno for sure though. I never had one like that.

get on it hard at full boost and let off and see if it opens.
If the boost is not high enuff to really open it, then thats what the prob could be. 4-6psi isnt gonna make it loud
