Default ??major boost leak, you will never guess where it came from

my blow off valve. i dont get it. its weird. the vacuum lines are all right as far as i know. for some reason it leaks boost, then shuts under vacuum, i think. is it just a bad bov? btw, its a pos bosch bypass valve, the same ones that are on mustang SVO's. thanks in advance for any help.

i have it T'd off the fpr. i think that it is shutting under vacuum, im not sure. the reason i say this is because it blow air when i rev it, before i let off. its a bypass valve, so there is no adjustment. i just wish it was that simple. i think im going to toss the bypass valve and buy a good bov.

oh, on a side note, im not building boost, or at least the boost gauge doesnt read boost. im wondering if the boost gauge is fucked up.
