My turbo has been spooling fairly slow lately, and i think i may have diagnosed the problem. I think that boost is leaking out of my dsm bov. I held the throttle lever steady at idle and could feel the air coming out of the outlet. Anyone know how i can fix this, or do i need a new bov?

 

A BOV will open if there is enough vacuum in the intake manifold, even if the throttle is open. This is normal. It does not mean that it won't be shut tight when there is boost in the manifold.

 

interesting. you learn somethin new every day i guess.
