Does you BOV leak back into your intake pipe? You could take off your recirculation tube while you BLT and put you hand over the opening to feel for leaks.

Usually a 1g BOV will leak a little past the valve stem seal inside the BOV. You can fix that with a dodge mod, combined with a Gus Mahon BOV solenoid mod. http://www.gusmahon.org/html/Talon BOV.htm

Ps. If you need more help, send the plane tickets to: Dayo's Garage 15 Fillmore Ave. Tonawanda NY 14150. Two please, (I travel with an assistant) First Class only.

Are you trying to find the leak with the car running? If you are try getting a bolt on tire valve at the hardware store then find an appropriate size cup you can drill that will fit into your intake pipe. after you tightened the valve in place and clamped the assembly to the intake, watch the mechanical boost gauge and put around 15 psi into the intake. This will bled off slowly but at this pressure and the engine off you will be able to pin point your leak. I've used this method numerous times to find those phantom leaks.

I've seen people do this too. Rent a fog machine from someone. Open it up. Inside there will ne a coiled copper pipe where the fog comes out. Hook up one of the lines to the fog machine then just look for the fog. But only use the machine in 30 sec intervals, so you don't ruin the vaccum line. Because all the fog is made of is water and glycol. Yeah. Antifreeze basically. Just once you find and fix the leak take the car for a short drive to clear out any unwanted left behind water or residue. And such a small amount should hurt anything.

Make a boost leak tester, sounds like it may be coming from the EGR area. You can use some baking flour and look for the ploom, do it in a garage where theres no air interference if you want to try something different.
