You need some sort of an exhaust at the very least coming off of the turbo to get the gases and hot air away from it. I am talking about a leak directly at the end of the j pipe, also where the front o2 is installed. Running no exhaust AFTER the downpipe or straight pipe all the way back is beneficial. Just check the 3 studs and make sure the nuts are bolted down and the downpipe is fully seated. You will notice a difference if it wasn't, I promise you that.

Funny you mention the BOV, some peeps keep telling me to test it. They say to block the vac lines and take a pull to see what happens. It'll either tell me or not after that pull. I will say the BOV releases even after just as minimal of 1 or 2 psi regardless where the adjustment screw is set. I don't recall it being that "light."


The spring in the bov is more dependent on vacuum but if the diaphragm is bad you are experiencing a nice boost leak there. Could be why you are losing psi under load. What is the vacuum at at idle?

Your fuel system sounds fine then and I wouldn't even bother messing with it at this point.

Thank you Ben. Must be a boost leak

Vacuum is 15 @ idle, 25 in gear crusing no throttle. And to correct my previous statement, in observance today, BOV is heard prior to boost at 1-2 vacuum.
