Threw in my 1st gen BOV..........

[EclipseTrbo420A]

I put in a crushed 1st gen BOV this morning and tested it out car ran awsome but i noticed that my vaccume went from 18 ( stock 2nd gen) to 17 or 16 ( 1st gen ) do you guys think this is a problem ? leak maybe ? because the adapter i made last night was pretty ghetto. also when i get on it boost goes to 15 really quick then back down to 11 or 12 ( stock) thas normal right ? also its recirculated like im supposed to anyidea or am i paraniod ? thats guys

I believe the stock 1g bov leaks a little at idle/vaccuum, not sure bout a crushed bov tho....

Thanks man I figured it out......today i was re-doing it and in the middle or this process i tried venting and it was cool everything worked fine so i could keep it vented if i wanted to but i know its not the best thing and it hinders preformance so i put the recirc tube back on and i must have dont it tighter because this time i had my 18 vac like before so were all good here thanks guys
