I pressure tested my intake today and found the BOV leaking a bit, even being squashed, above about 20 psi. My question is - how much does a little leakage here hurt performance? Do I really need a different BOV? I'm trying to get max power out of my 14b motor and I don't want to give anything up due to a leak. On the other hand I don't want to spend a bunch if I'm not going to notice any E.T. difference. The car is fairly stock and has run 12.95/108 with poor traction...Opinions?
I broke a turbo before on another car due (I think) to not running a BOV. The turbo shaft broke.
