Ok, I took my turbo off last week because it was making some noise. I think the turbo got something in it. I took it apart and put it back together and it spins freely now. However, I checked my BOV and found that I can blow through (breath) at each side of the BOV, shouldn't it stay closed unless there is a vacuum to open it. It's a stock recirculating BOV.

A few months ago my car put down 242whp and 14-15lbs of boost, but it doesn't seem to hold it, it almost acts like a boost spike, except it goes down slower.

I am thinking of modifying it to a Pull type, would it be possible with it leaking already, or do I need to get another BOV an mod it to a pull type (I'm cheap, not getting anything aftermarket/expensive) plus I want to stay recirculating
