i'm beginning to think my turbo is having to work some hardcore overtime to be able to get to 12psi with my boost controller. i have reason to believe this because i'm trying to run a little more boost (since i tuned my e6k to 13psi prior to re-installing this stock BOV) and its not wanting to get over 11psi or so...

how much boost can the stock BOV handle?

 

anyone? anyone?

 

anyone?

 

You should try testing it off the car. Come up with a way to blow pressure up its inlet and see when it starts to leak. It would be very difficult to say for sure the BOV is leaking just from driving the car, because there could be other causes of this problem.

 

well, its the only thing thats changed, and my turbo now has difficulty making more than 10psi.. but i dunno.

 

I dunno I was running around 20psi on mine. I did not notice that it was leaking. It would not suprise me if it leaked though considering its pretty much plastic. I have made alot of changes since the stock turbo though as I had to upgrade a lot of stuff to run my new turbo pretty much everything is in my sig. I now got a Greddy BOV.
