Stock BOV cleaning question
I've read a lot of threads about cleaning aftermarket BOV's when they stick, I still run the stock ones. What's the process in cleaning these. My car is running like crap!

it is HIGHLY doubtful that your BOVs are the reason your car is running like crap.

When I hit the gas, it hisses like the boost is being released too early, I can only hit about half the boost I used to. What's the problem??

Is this mostly under normal gradual acceleration (low load)? If there's little or no load, I think it's suppose to vent.

Extremely unlikely it's your BOV....get in there and look for the boost leak. You have to physically remove the couplers to check for splits.

Thanks everybody. I've been doing a lot of work lately, I probably just forgot to tighten a coupler or something.
