They will leak as the pressure drop across the system cause the pressure at the manifold to be less than the pressure at the BOV's piston surface, creating a slight vaccum effect on the diaphram of the BOV. To add to that, the pressure within that system would push on the piston of the BOV, keeping it open. The only thing that would keep the BOV only slightly opened (to leak boost instead of completely depressurizing the system) would be the spring, and if the spring is too soft, then the BOV wouldnt hold the 3 bars of boost that you're dishing out via twin T88 turbos. Please dont misinform Zboost with statements such as "So to answer your question, as long as the hoses are properly attached, they will hold any boost you can put out." Just my $.02
