I was out messing with the car today. I happened to put my hand over the bov and was blipping the throttle. It seemed to be sucking a small amount of air in through the vented 1g BOV. I covered it with my hand to feel the vacume. It didn't seem to be leaking air under a boost test.
This can't be right, I wouldn't think you'd want to be sucking unfilter air into the engine? How do you test a BOV? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

If you've got some sort of machine that makes vaccum, then you can test it. Problem is, there's not a whole lot of test platforms out there to hook a small vaccum hose up to and test it with. Leaking at idle is common for the stock BOV as it's under a small amount of vaccum then. Once the throttle is increased and positive manifold pressure is achieved, it shouldn't leak until you let off.
