Can't fix boost leak!!!!

[craracer05]

So i picked up a punishment racing upper intercooler pipe worked great for two weeks. Then all of a sudden it started whistling like a kazoo and leaking boost. This morning I made a boost leak tester and found out i'm leakin between the BOV and flange. I took the bov off and noticed the flage was a little bent, so a straightened it out and then put it back on but sprayed the gasket down with some copper sealer. Put it back together and now i can only hit 6 psi instead of 16 its driving me nuts. Is there another way to seal this thing like a thicker gasket or some kind of sealent that will hold under boost??

Check to see if you unintentionally left your air line off of the BOV.

check and see if u left any vacum lines off and u could try usin the silicone gasket maker

THe bov isn't leaking boost the flange where it bolts on leaks and tryed using that aresol copper gasket maker ### it says right on the label good for turbo flanges.

Use RTV silicone, it's black and you can pick it up at any gm dealership GM#89021188

Try some red rtv in conjunction with the gasket (i've had great success with this.) A good rule of thumb is you should only use the copper spray on metal gaskets such as head gaskets/exhaust manifold/exhaust manifold-to-turbo gaskets.
