Is my blow off valve stuck?

I made a pull yesterday..and in 1st gear..i saw very low boost..once i clicked into 2nd i noticed it picked up a few pounds and ran better. I noticed my vaccum is at 20 as well.. what could be the problem? How do you check a blow off valve for proper working order? This just started yesterday. this is on a sts turbo set up, with a th400 tranny.

i have it hooked up through the brake booster. It just dosent make full boost in 1st gear. It seems to make full threw 2nd and 3rd. Just didnt know if that was right.
