Anyone running a Forge BOV?

I actually posted that after I bought and installed the BOV. 30-45 minutes after installing it, I got 3 codes, P2008, 2015 and 0172...2 are for intake manifold runner and 1 is bank 1 too rich. I contacted Forge they said it is not related to the BOV. I just don't see how after less than an hour my flapper motor (variable intake manifold actuator or adjusting valve...whatever you want to call it) would take a shit. I know the units were bad and warrantied early on, and I am unable to verify the part # to see if it was already replaced as it's in the shop getting a clutch.

I'm hoping it is just that motor though, I already got the replacement coming just in case. ECS price matched UroTuning.com's price of $139.99. If it doesn't get rid of the codes I guess I will be taking the BOV off.

So, I spoke to Forge, they swear to me it's not the BOV, the codes I have are the flapper motor has failed. I bought a new motor but have yet to put it in.

For shits and giggles I spoke with ECS Tuning and they said my intake manifold likely has a crack somewhere.

I hooked a code scanner up so I could monitor the short and long fuel trims and when I sprayed ether on the front right of intake manifold, the numbers went from about -1.8 to 3.0. Is this telling me I do indeed have a leak? I can faintly hear air about that same area, but I don't know if it's just my ears looking for a problem.

I don't want to do a job I don't need to. I find it highly odd I would have this fail 30 min after putting the BOV in. I would put my stock DV in to verify but it's broken.

I also had a small evap leak code pop up a week prior to BOV install, but I don't think (hoping) they're not related.
