HKSSS BOV Question(need help)

Well I took my civic with a GSR motor,t3/t4 turbo set-up,440 inj,255 walboro pmp,hondata and head with springs and retainers to get dynoed. Only to find out I was not making any boost. I didnt install this set-up,but the BOV can move around very easily and when I say move around I mean spin all the way around and wiggle. Will this cause a boost leak? If so why is it moving around?

i havent been able to work on turbos so dont know why its wiggling, maybe it should be tightened
but i do know that you will lose some boost, but the turbo should be able to get it back, it just takes awhile to get it high, when there is a leak or its vented

yes this can cause you to lose boost. i had the same problem. after many hour searching the net i found that on the clamp that holds the bov has a domed side. that needs to be faced down. try that and let me know.
