Get it looked at, and before you do your next mod, do some research. Also your intake may be screwing with things aswell

Don't know of any BOV that requires wiring.You should really just stop putting stuff on before you do some real damage...

Live and learn. Hopefully he will read up now and this mistake doesn't cost him too much.

are you sure when you say wastegate you know what you are talking about? you're not talking about the stock by pass valve are you? the wastegate, assuming you have an internal one, is going to be on the inside of your turbine housing of your turbo. there is no way you can install a bov anywhere around there. i also doubt you have an ewg(external waste gate) so thats out of the question. also, by wiring, do you mean tubing that connects to the bpv/bov? do you have any pictures of what exactly it is that you modified?

okai my car is still running pretty bad. the stock intake helped a lil bit but not good enough.
its like if im running without any turbo pretty much. yeah i know im not doing anything to my car anymore. i learned not to messwith this type of cars..to many sensors in them.
the wastegate is the one you have right next to your turbo right? and connects to your turbo right?..### thats the one i took off and put the bov on. and yeah i wired it to the bov.

There is no wire.Are you talking about the vaccum tubing?You should not be driving the car.You have probably done irrepairable damage to your car....

Not to flame but I have no idea how you would assume that the wastegate actuator is where the BOV (which you shouldn't be using)would match up.All in all I hope you get everything worked out and your car runs properly how it should.

this is not a joke but, i found the problem, im running on no turbo now because there is a bracket that holds the wastegate from the downpipe. and that bracket holding the wastegate was broken. so im not gettin no turbo because of that. so it was a tyni metal stick holding the wastegate from the downpipe and that was broken. so its like im not even connected to my turbo. so now i have to get that piece welded back on and ill be good to go.

A bracket does not make your turbo spool. I dont think thats your issue.
