BOV leaking?

Lately my car seems kinds slow for 15psi. I checked for boost leaks, and I don't have any. The only thing I thought it could be is my BOV, because it's recirculated, It could be a bit open under boost and just recerculate. I Drove my car venting the bov and I'm hitting fuel cut at only 5psi. I guess this means my bov is open under boost?

Your BOV isn't recirculated durning the pressure test since the intake snorkle comes off to connect the tested to the turbo inlet. So you should be able to check if it's leaking.

If your hitting FC at 5psi you have some serious issues. How exactly did you test for boost leaks?

I see that you got it covered since I've been gone.

Ok I guess I didn't explain it very well. I checked for leaks, but not pressurized, I'll try that today. My BOV does leak at idle, but isn't it supose to?

Yes, you didn't explain it very well. I think your going to be surprised once you actually pressure test the intake.

Yes, the BOV will be open at idle, it's not leaking, it's just open. It will close as soon as the manifold vaccum falls off a little bit.
