2nd **EDIT**....its all fixed.go past xviper and billman250's post and you can read mine to find out how I fixed it, if u r bored....lol...
**EDIT** Mods change subject if u can
BOV works now, strange. Anyways The vibrating rattling is really loud and bad. IT starts at 10mph and doesnt stop. It stops once i move into neutral, but once I get into second gear @ 15 mph and it continues, if I put it back into neutral and just let it roll from 15mph it doesnt rattle vibrate.....
This was my past post:
I have a comptech supercharger not aftercooled. I just picked my car up at the shop yesterday. Drove it home and a little last night, everything was fine. I did notice though when looking at the install and taking pics I notice the BOV was coming off its mount. So today I tightened the bolts on the BOV so it will not slide off when it blows off. I then washed the car. I found water in the air box, so I wiped it all out and dried the inside of the air box. I then went to move the car and it isnt blowing off. The blow off is not opening to let air out. I dont know what to do or check out or try. I started to drive in my driveway, 1st gear 10 miles an hour a weird rattle/vibration sound comes from the engine bay....

FIXED!!!
Ok well I had stated that the BOV was coming off its mount...so basically I had tightened the bolt and now it doesnt move or comes loose. There is a hose that comes off the top of it which is held down by metal clamps. You know that metal bar just below the intake and the whole front of the car, body color, not pretty looking, well the hose and clamp leans up against it. When it was loose it moved away or something, but now that its tightened it can not move and the hose clamps makes the whole front end of the car rattle!!! how crazy is that!! I put my finger between metal bar and clamp and it stopped, it was doing nothing and i moved my finger and bam the whole front end rattled.....so problem found.
I will need to put a rubber piece where my finger was, or bend the metal bar in that spot, similar to the way that same bar was bent for the comptech supercharger, as per the directions. That should make the problem gone and I can be happy again.
