Message	I made my own boost tester with 2 inch rubber caps, then put a valve stem on one and tried to presurize my intakes. well at about 2 psi my Apexi BOV's start leaking like crazy. I have the springs as tight as they can go, but there is still a ton of air coming through them. the air is comming through the holes where the air should be comming out of when the valve is open (durring shifts) before anyone tells me to get HKS I just want to know should this be happening, or is this the reason my car is lagging very badly and running rich as all hell? thanks for your help.
