Car running terrible

[93laserAWD]

Car idles fine, when i accelerate to about 3 grand everything is fine, then i start to hear the bov leak terribly and the car falls on its face. It is not the flange, but the nozzle where the recirculating tube hooks up to. can i crush the bov and that might solve the problem. It is my daily driver and i need it back as soon as possible. thanks for all your input.

There are two possibilities that I can think of. First, it could be a problem with your vac line that runs into the BOV. It could be plugged or not even connected. That would make it so that you BOV don't shut. The BOV is open at idle and then should shut when accelerating. Your turbo doesn't spool until then so that would be why it happens then. The other problem could be a bad BOV. If the diaphragm inside has a hole or something it will not shut. Crushing it will not help. Sorry about that news. I would check the vac line first and then think of getting a new BOV. Hope that helps.

When you say the "Nozzle" where the Recirculation Tube hooks up to, do you mean the actual outlet the BOV connects to the Intake Pipe or on the other side, the Vac line side? Like cooper_gst said, you might want to check the vac line first to make sure it is securley connected and not clogged and then look into maybe a bad BOV. Check every connection and for clogs before you run off and buy another BOV.
