do you see any boost at all? check if you have any boost leak on couplers....or maybe your wastegate just took a ---- on you? see if it still holds tension

sounds like something broke while you were installing your exhaust.. if anything you should get more of that "PSSHH" with a better exhaust

lol you mean you dont get that sound pshhhhhhh sound anymore from the bov at low rpm,but boost is still there.
when i first installed my turbo i had open downpipe, which forces the turbo to spin/work harder thus letting me hear my bov anytime i step or let off the gas . once i put the dp in there it was back to quite, but bov would still sound at higher rpm shifts. check your wastegate if you have one or your vafc pressure to see if its building pressure
