The other thing which you need to plug, not pictured above, is the port on the primary intake manifold that the decel valve hose attaches to. Actually, I can see the silver colored spout for it poking up in the left corner of your second pic.

Yep, Ronnie, you're totally right. I was a little confused. So here is what I did.

1. Output from diverter/bov left open to atmosphere
2. Decel valve vacuum line from TB capped
3. Port on the upper intake manifold capped

That correct?
I took the car out after re-assembly and experienced no added noise from the BOV valve and no additional popping upon lifting. The car is very sluggish and while the gauge says I am making some boost there is zero power. Off boost the car feels pretty normal.
Did I do something wrong or has the change just made it so I need the mixture re-adjusted?
