leak test

[lowridin2g]

i did a leak test recently after attempting to replace my o ring in my throttle body. i leaked air out the top of the greddy bov at 5 psi. its already adjusted pretty tight and i have the nut tightened down pretty good. i tightened the nut more while it was leaking and slowly it got quieter, leaked less. should it leak like that? i did strip it out a couple weeks ago and had to retap it to a size bigger. would some teflon tape on the set screw help it to not leak out the top? or is this just normal?

Greddy seems to be slacking!!!! I have herd a lot of bad things about the greddy BOV try some teflon tape and see how that works!

Well how did you fix the leak? Why post if your not going to say how or why the leak stopped?

why jump on my ass?
i was off to work and in a hurry.. i took out the shitty top bolt with washer, put an oring on a new one, screwed it in all the way and put some seal a gasket around all my leaks. no problems since, and holds vacum/boost fine.
