Columbus,
Does anyone know if the Tial BOV is supposed to have a gasket or O ring that sits in between the BOV and the supplied flange? I recently got my car back from a successful trip on the dyno but we did run into a problem with boost dropping off. We ended up tightening up the actuator rod on the turbo and got it to sit down to where we wanted but I was anxious to get the car home and do a boost leak test. At only 10 PSI, there is a big leak coming out in between the band clamp where the 2 metal surfaces meet. I can only imagine how bad it would be at 30PSI. I tried RTV but it just won't hold on the metal to metal surface. I find it hard to believe that Tial would manufacture this thing in this manner without some sort of O ring because it would be near impossible to get a good seal otherwise. Any one know what's up?
