Default X02 BOV Leaking

I have a brand new X02 bov that is leaking. It will not hold vacuum at all. I sprayed windex around it and put low regulated pressure into it and bubbles were coming out of the two halves. I took it apart and it looks good to me accept it relies on the side diaphragm tension to seal?

I seem to remember putting air to the bottom port and it leaked out through the valve. Top was OK, guess that's all that really matters.

Has anyone have this problem before? Unfortunately I bought them from a guy in the LS1 classifieds in new condition and they are from VSracing. Nothing to do with VS but I think it should at least made it out of the box before it was no good. Maybe someone has experience since im a newbie at turbo stuff. Can you put a Tial diaphragm in it and will that cure it or just go Tial?
