come on over by rockingham and ill take a look at it...did you use a book leak tester? Probably best bay, otherwise make sure all your conenctions are tight. Maybe your throttle body seals have gone out?

Should a BOV be blowing out air at idle? I think I broke mine!

[JustinG]

no i dont think it should, is there an adjustment screw for hardness/softness? if so turn it to the "Hard" side till it stops

[D_Eclipse9916]

Many stock BOVs leak at idle, but you would barely be able to feel it. That is why I just bought an HKS SSQV, when running vented with a GM MAFT setup, my 1g bov was going to mess up my idle because it leaks.

Some stock BOVs leak more or less at idle, the 2g bov is terrible, the 1g is a lot better, but I have no idea for bovs like the wrx and TDs, I havent had experiences with those.

Well, this little POS is all plastic like the 2G style. It blows like a Swedish Whore. I was ghetto fabing it by moving out of the air box so it would vent. I lost 2lbs. Then we tried to mod it to make it louder (was bored at work, DJ knows all about that). We hot glued a washer to the end of the output thinking "smaller hole = louder should." I think however smaller hole = shock on the insides. Maybe it blew a seal/o-ring? Well I have a stock STI bov that has been crushed. I'm gonna try to mod that on somehow this evening and see if it will work.

FIXED! Just had another rotted hose. Replace a ton of them. Nick and I also serviced the transmission and replaced an axel seal. Runs crazy good now and I am getting my 10PSI.
