    NEED HELP! put a aftermarket valve cover and know my car is acting crazy. I put a eurojet valve cover on.. Any ideas? I loose boost sometimes, my car hesitates when I get into it. (like its missing) of I hold down the gas and not let off and yesterday went into lymp mode for a little while.. Engine light came on and hooked it up to vag-com and isn't really showing anything.. The differences between the valve cover is that it has a catch can outlit but I have no catch can(yet) and where the pcv thing was is gone now and my secondary air hose is just chillin not hooked to anything.. Let me know!!! Thanks..

    Is this really a question? You have things unhooked that need to be hooked up. Get your catch can and hook up the remnants of your PCV system and you should be fine I would think.

    I don't know what this system looks like exactly but I would agree that you have to hook it all up properly for it to work right.

    First off, you really do not need a catch can. That isn't the problem.

    a) You MUST block off the port on the intake manifold. If not you now have a huge boost/vac leak

    b) You MUST block off the port on the turbo housing ( where the rear pcv hose went) If not you now
