It will hold it for about all of ... 10 seconds?
The stock 2g bov leaks really bad at anything over 12-13 sadly.

Meaning it will break the bov or it will start leaking after holding 14 psi after 10 sec every time the turbo charges up?

Wouldn't the turbo just spin faster to compensate for the leak? That's obviously Not Good for the turbo, but I'd imagine it'd still eventually make 14psi (or whatever)?

The 10 second thing was a joke. After a few seconds in high boost the 2nd gen bov starts leaking the boost. Then the turbo tries to compensate for the bov and it overboost itself. Causing a strain on the turbo itself.

why don't you just get a 1g bov????

starts to leak @ 12psi...

get a 1g bov and crush it... and it wont leak till 25psi

The stock 2G Blow off Valve is a piece of crap..we'll just leave it at that

Really not a need to crush it if your not running high boost tho.
Alternative to crushing...
If you decide to crush it #1
