Big red stuck open?
Anyone know a good way to test this? I dont have a boost gauge but on my datalogs it doesnt appear to be making any boost. Tuner says he thinks the bypass is stuck open? Ive checked the piping/couplers, I used Tbolt clamps so I ruled that out right away. This is on a D1SC car

Yeah its in a easy to see spot. Im at work so I couldnt rev it that high but. It was closed when I checked before starting. Opened when on and stayed open when I shut the car off? Ill rev it later to check.

You can also hook up a vacuum gauge to it to see if it is opening and closing. Bob

Where is the source of vacuum/boost for the BOV? Sounds like to me it may possibly be sourced behind some kind of check valve that is holding a vacuum and the BOV never sees the boost? The check bleeds off while the car sets, as soon as it cranks and gets vacuum back on it, it stays open while the car is running.
I dunno, just throwing that out there...
