HKS SSQV silent, Why? please help this noob!! :S

Hi all.

So i was gifted an HKS SSQV and went to put it on this afternoon.

I took the old one off, Removed the small hose and Bunged up the big'n.

The small hose was a bit short so i used the filter provided and some extra 4mm hose to make it fit.

However it is silent and not working. When i move the throttle it doesn't appear to open as it should.. What could the problem be?

It also has a boost gauge installed does that affect it at all?

Could this be done if the C clip was installed upside down?

Is it something on the BOV itself that will need to be adjusted?

I know that this may be a basic question but i have minimal mechanical experience

Thank you for your time

When I installed mine I didn't have the c'clip seated correctly - found that when if drove it down the road and had a huge boost leak - got some c-clip pliers and used a screw driver to seat it correctly..

Next thing - the factory black hose seemed to make it feel unresponsive - replaced that with 4 or 5mm silicone and it was good to go!

Check the c-clip and then change the vacuum line (can buy it at repco and the likes - cheaper on trademe if you can wait)

Thank you for all of the replies and handy info.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Upon getting my hands dirty and trying to replace all of the vacuum line the filter that came with the kit fell apart in my hands.. Replaced that and she works perfect now.

Thank you once again to DacerX, ADIKT and Rosssub

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
