Did you ---- with any of the vacuum lines when you were doing the downpipe install? My guess is that it's probably hooked up wrong.

downpipes are not related in anyway to the blow off valve.

if there is pressure in your charge pipes, and your throttle body closes between shifts to create vaccuum in the manifold, you bov will open and release pressurized air.

I think user error. Find the silly mistake u made somewhere... a vaccuum hose u unplugged on accident, or the weld slag splatter that flew into your BOV and jammed it up
