Has anyone had problems with the hks ssqv bov? I did a boost leak test and the sound of air is pretty loud right at the bov but I can't feel any air. Air is not coming out of where it seats on the flange, or out of the recirculation hose. Anybody with experience?

As long as its not leaking air under boost it should be ok. But from my experience you definitely feel the air come out when you let off..

I pulled it apart and everything looks fine. I blew air through the hotpipe to make sure there were no holes i the hot pipe. I blew air through the bov and there are no leaks. Maybe there is a leak where the bov seats on the flange? But Im not sure.

i have had several of the ssqv's and it seems that every single one has leaked on me. u can glue the little rod to the rubber piece around it. thats what i did on all mine and it seemed to work fine.
