Default hmmmm....do you have it vented out with no one way valve in the loop?

when I did this on my drive by wire car I was getting a lean code. I think it was only lean during off boost loads, but lean enough to throw a code/CEL. How do your block 032 numbers look? Describe your plumbing like asked below.

Default not much, only the PCV regulator valve so that on boost nothing is vented back into the TIP

Default What does "to ground" mean?

Is that hose connected to the intake tube?

Default The valve that mounts to the intake tube?

It doesn't do anything other then restrict how much air can flow thru it.

Default doesn't seem to do much from what I can tell playing around with it

I might try to put mine back in when I go back to venting to atmosphere and see if it prevents the lean code as my real one way valve did. I don't think it will work.

Default that not the valve im talking about. the valve off the block.

the valve on the inlet tube isnt really a valve, its a damper...it allows flow both ways.
