Holy #### typing..
You can get a 1G BOV from almost any vendor, and craigslist, and ebay, and the classifieds, and google in general..
 
You should still do a boost leak test. Your injector seals could be bad, your hoses could be bad, etc etc. And you should tee your boost gauge from your fuel solenoid.

Boost gauge install

And yes you can 1g bov in the classifieds, don't pay more than 40.

Listeh to what other guys say. If you think you have done something right that doesn't mean it is. You have to prove it to your self. You will be surprised how many potential boost leak spots there are.

Just do that test.
 
Do you realize that a BLT will tell you if your 1g bov is leaking?
Stop telling us crap like its not a boost leak...when you suspect that it is one (leaky bov), not to mention "the couplers and clamps line up" doesn't mean a thing.

Do the test or live with broken car.
 
I got the stuff to do a BLT. I appreciate the help but don't be a jerk. stop telling us crap like its not a boost leak...when you suspect that it is one (leaky bov), not to mention "the couplers and clamps line up"
I was just trying to give some more insight on what was going on.
Will let you know how it went thanks.
