    So my supercharger snout was bad and scorched cause of bad bearings so I bought a new one from zzp and it's all good now, before that I was half boosting as soon as I changed the snout it was full boosting for a day then a vacuum line blew and threw a misfiring code and started half boosting, I changed the vacuum line and the code disappeared but I'm still half boosting, any suggestions?

    Make sure the vent on the Boost Bypass Valve solenoid is free and not blocked.

    Are you sure you reconnected the vacuum lines to the BBV solenoid correctly? Also, one of the hose connections on the BBVS has a metal clip that is supposed to hold a little foam filter to prevent dirt from getting inside the solenoid.

    sure there was/is. its on the other side of the bbv. theres 2 ports, one gets a vac line, the other stays open to air. its got a metal clip that would have held the foam air filter thats long gone at this point.

    the circled part is where the foam filter should be.
