Default Got on full boost finally

full boost only being 9psi, but the car moves on that! Feels very very fast, I need to get it on the dyno / next to a bike / to the track to really tell. AFRs are 10.5-11.5 and sometimes richers where we need to tune it still.

I also hooked up my TIAL 50mm BOV correctly and it is much louder now, before I had it going to a source before the throttle which was not helpful at all but it still opened, now behind the throttle blade it opens and makes quite a bit more noise.

Indeed, the car has also been driven a few hundred miles since being put together with no major problems. I think I finally nailed it.

i just did the same thing changing the BOV reference to after the TB and the car sounds much more like a turbo car should and louder to boot congrats
