Default help with BOV on d17a2 turbod civic

Ok I bought a bov the greddy type rs but its a fake...I know I know....anyways its really wierd what happens...It will not go off unless I pedal the gas to stay at 4 psi.But when I hit full boost 7 psi it does not go off at all..And even when it does go off it is not very loud. Do you think I need to just get a new BOV and isn't crap or you think it might be a problem with my vac line?

Also...The oil drain keeps leaking and I cant find a good way to get it to stop...if anyone has any ideas please let me know

take it apart and see if the diaphram is upside down, sideways, backwards missing whatever. then re-assemble


and the oil drain is called brake clean and jd weld/silicon

Open it up and take one of the spring out. I took took the inner spring out and it work good for about 3 months. Than it took a crap on me. Therefore I made my own diaphram and it's been working flawlessly.
