I just installed a TurboXS RFL BOV on my 2004 WRX, and now my engine sputters and the check engine light blinks. I even reinstalled the old pressure release valve and it still sputters and the check engine light blinks...HELP!

i don't have a device to read the codes. It seems to be that my computer is confused now and doesn't know how much air to give, since it primarily stalls when under 1,500 rpm.

My neighbor took it to his shop, ran the codes (i don't know the codes) but turns out 3 of my 4 cylinders misfired. Seems it might have been a leak...
