My BOV now vents to the atmosphere. For you non dsm-ers, you prob. think nothing of it. lol, but i dont seem to have any problems with venting, as most other dsm people do.

On the other hand, i do have one problem, HOPEFULLY someone can help me with.

When i boost WOT, its ok, everything is cool. But when i boost from 0-5 or 6 psi and steadily hold it there, my car will boost, then shut down kinda, but still boost, it feels as if the boost just goes away, possibly a leak in the bov? im not sure, but it feels like a boost cut (if there is such a thing).
EXAMPLE:
Im in first, around 2000 rpms, rolling, no clutch engaged. i go, say almost 1/2 throttle, so i hit around 5 psi, the car will boost ok, until about 3500-3800 rpm's, where it bogs down, but the turbo will still spool as if nothing happened, i dont hear the bov. It feels as if the rpm's are dropping, but they arnt, and it feels as if the turbo isnt producing boost, but i still hear it, and my gauge still reads the same psi. So all in all, it feels likes im letting off the gas, when in reality, im not.

(ps, this happens in every gear, i just used 1st as a example).

Can one of you DSM junkies help me?
