Uhh I suggest you hook everything up before you drive it. And get it tuned.

Have you upgraded your plugs?
Tune it before your boost it...

Tuned? If not it will not make any power.

Bov needs to be hooked up.

No down pipe? So how the gate hooked up. Wasn't this a low mount set up?

And what was the fix to the problem?

YES this is the low mount set up and for the oiling prob it was getting to much oil cause i forgot to reinstall the oil restrictor. now for the driving i just couldnt help my self and ive been driving around say a two mile little stretch of road. waste gate is on with both banjos barbs not connected same for the bov, truck runs and idles pretty good for non tune just loud of course without down pipe connected to stock exhaust. and were is the good spot for the bov to connect into as far as vaccumm and rick do u have and low mount instructions for yr kit you can email just to check over my setup and correct various probs lol

You really need to park that thing before you blow it up. If it's a JGS gate, hook a port from the intake manifold to the lower barb. Top barb is for a boost controller.

No instructions.
Post up your pics for review.

Driving and trying to boost with no tune bad idea.
Just cruising is no biggy.

As stated above get it tuned. Also you need to have some gauges hooked up so you can see how much boost your are getting. Also get a fuel pressure and AFR gauge.
