to fix or not to fix...

well a few days ago, i noticed that my max boost went from about 12-13psi down to about 10psi (goes up to 10 fast and stays at 10 till redline pretty much in any gear now, it use to be a bit weird before when in second gear my boost going up past 10 adn then comming down and resting at 10 till redline. In 3rd and 4th gear i would get 10psi straight to redline). I though nothing of it because I could not see anything wrong and now I could just floor it and not worry about popping my engine. Tonight however, I found that there is indeed a fairly large rip in my bov line (im using the stock turbos and bov's). In anycase, do you think I should fix this rip or just leave it? I know that it will just get bigger and bigger till i get no boost at all but that does not really concern me right now (just one less thing to worry about when sliding around a corner hehe)

fix the line and control the boost. Shouldn't have to worry then either.

If you are loosing boost to atmosphere you are overworking the turbos. They will not last long boosting to atmosphere. They will have to pump much more air than normal.
