how can you tell when your BOV is leaking under boost?

i was driving home tonight, and my car seems like its redlining around 6,750-7,000rpms.... i was wondering if thats my BOV leaking or if its something else. or even if my stock BOV could cause that problem? can someone help me... its my first FD

 

what does rpm has to do with BOV?

 

nothing!!!problem solved...a bov might change your boost patterns i think thats the normal redline im not sure tho i havent drove my car that much lately.

 

redline is about 7500, and the turbo wont kick all the way through the high rpms like it did this morning, i didnt know if the BOV could be leaking letting my boost go or what?

i shoulda worded that first post differently... sorry
