Default Blow off valve question...Help

Is it possible for a bov if not adjusted right make you lose boost in first gear? I just boosted my accord and for some reason 1st geear only sees about 2 lbs of boost, 3rd and 4th are normal its hitting where i set it at. I did notice that the adjustment bolt on my blow off was all the way up, meaning it wasnt putting any pressure on the piston inside the blow off valve. Anyone else had this problem with boost?

your clutch is slipping it sounds like more than a bov if it leaks it leaks .. not only in one gear

Couldnt you just answer this question for yourself by tightening the adjustment screw all the way down and see if you gain boost in 1st gear?
