Are you sure it is "pop off valve" rather than a "relief valve"?
Read here; Look at relief valves and safety valves.
Relief valve;

Safety valve (pop off);

They may even look the same.
Compare the NC to the PR models.

Have you modified the piston or are you just using a standard one? some pictures would definitely help.
Pop-off piloted valves are extremely sensitive to pop-off pressure and flow from your trigger valve.
An adjustable pop-off is recommended, have you tried lowering the pop-off pressure?

I wouldn't recommend them iv tried a few different types and they don't pop off more of a hiss still works but under powers the QEV, iv also seen others that say the same about them.

The best route is to use the pop-off as a valve directly, as I had done with my various prototypes:
Modified pop-off valve
custom pop-off v1.0
custom pop-off v2.0
custom pop-off v3.0
Brian's snap valve is essentially the same thing.
