Currently trying to build my Hi-capa 5.1 into a IPSC platform... but it's giving me problems to no end.

The stock TM Hi-capa shoots alright - 250-260FPS on .25 g. I also have 2 Marui mags and a WE Mag for it.

Now, what I have done so far:
- TM mags upgraded with a Guarder high performance valve
- Slide to a Shooters Design STI Eagle 5.1
- Guarder Hammer spring and 150% recoil spring
- TK Twist Barrel

Now, this platform will shoot with the WE mag at 250FPS

But when I put in the upgraded TM mags, I have having a myriad of issues. Sometimes the gun would light strike, sometimes it'll fire but with excess gas coming out from the back of the slide/BBU.

How do I tackle the problem from here?
