I took my BOV off yesterday, and I can't blow through it... but it still flutters, so I'm sure it's busted.
For shits and giggles I'm venting it to atmosphere now... stalls out every once and a while, but eh, sounds a lot cooler

) Most of the time while the turbo is spooling up I can hear the BOV pushing tons of air... Definately leaking.
My Porsche 911t Bosche valve comes in on Wednesday, we'll see if that makes a difference.
I'm also going to do the ghetto PVC hardpipes, a la JBLMK3. We'll see how that goes, I'll give everyone an unbiased review
