ive been having some weird problems with my car lately. i have the stock 1g bov recirced back into my intake, but when i spool up i can hear the bov sound off just like if i were venting. i did a boost leak check today and i have a leak on the compressor oring from wut i belive. i can make the car hold 20psi and it will hold it for over 30secs but its still leaking. anyways the car is running lean and like i said i can hear the bov dumping. i belive the oring is the problem but i dont wanna rip in to the turbo to find out that its not. i checked my dejon tool intake for leaks and the couplers r good and the recirc pipe is brand new and clamped on. i really dunno wuts goin on, but its starting to piss me off cause i cant jack the boost up to play with my new supra smic :thumb: ANY input would help. o and the o2s were .82v when normally there were like .91 so somethin is leakin on the intake somewhere.

The first mod I did to my car was the removal of the stock air box and the installation of a K&N filter. After I did that I noticed the PSSSSH sound. It sounded like I was venting to atmosphere, but I still had the stock BOV. You're likely expieriencing the same thing. :dsm:
 
o2s r up to 85 at stock boost. i guess will c if they change with the boost up. thanks
