I did a boost leak test yesterday and found that the bov is leaking from a small hole on the back of the bov right under where the vaccum line goes. Is this normal? The hole seems like it machined from the factory. When i plug the hole its cause air to start to leak from the bov internally. I cant get the car to build more than 10 psi.

Mine did the same thing. I got rid of it and got a Greddy Type-S, no issues since.
 
I HATE this bov! No matter where I have it set I get boost dump or comp surge. JUNK im my eyes.
 
Same thing happened to me when I BLT mine. Looking for a Tial to replace this pos.
 
I guess that greddy bov's all suck i had a type s before this and it was p.o.s also.
 
Same problem with my valve.. considering a change just dont knwo too what yet.. any suggestions anybody?
 
I have a type s and have had no problems at all. I dont know how you are setting it but i used a vacuum pump, I pumped it to 20" And set it there. I had a problem where it was leaking out of the adjuster srew but i put a small o ring under the washer and it has not leaked since. I bought it used and assumed it was missing the o ring. Take it apart and look at the diapraghm, Just keep pressure on it while you remove the allen screws so it doesnt pop apart on you, The spring tension is pretty strong.

Check out this link too, Might lead you in the right direction. I have also heard of people buying the knock off's on ebay and using the diapraghm, I have a cheapo one that came with my intercooler kit that i disassembled, The diapraghm is pretty strong, Maybe even stronger than my greddy.http://www.stealth316.com/2-greddy-bov-anatomy.htm

Does anyone think the diaphram would cause it to leak right there?

I now cant hold past 12 psi. And it runs bad under boost now. Have to tighten the bolt al the way down now.....
 
I did the permetex trick to the diaphragm and its still leaking. OK correct if im wrong the purpose of the diaphragm is to seal where the top and bottom casing join. But my bov isnt leaking from the cap period. Its leaking from that small hole on the back.

Cant you just seal up the small hole in the back and see if it fixes the problem?
 
I tried that and the car wont build more than 15 psi, i take the plug out 18-20psi all day.

I need help LOL. I know someone has experienced this before.
 
Does anyone know if the ngr performance diaphragms will work in the rs bov? They look just like the original diaphragm.
 
I would look into a Forge if I were you, they are good and they sound a lot better than any GReddy in my opinion.
