A little odd...but I guess you could run a long hose to it's outlet and listen while you drive. That would at least give you a pretty certain indication that it is staying closed when on boost.

You could do all the static tests in the world, but at least the above is a real world scenario.

If it opens even just a little bit you would be lucky to make a couple lbs
