Brakes and BOV problem after boost
 

I suddenly had to stop...I dropped the gas and got on the brakes, but the fucker was like....really stiff and airy...I'm assuming my BOV didn't purge the pipes quick enough or all the way so i still had boost in my break booster? any diagnosis and how to fix? Also, how can i test if my friggin BOV is even working? it sounds like compressor surge, but I've heard that's just how the HKS SSQV sounds on 7 PSI?

break boosters have check valves on them I believe.

cool. now how do i test if the BOV is working? all i hear is fluttering, like compressor surge, even if i'm at redline WOT .5 bar

hmmm does it hiss? while in boost....or is it stuck in any way? you think try looking at the diaphram might be stuck

let it idle, get under the hood, rev it up with the throttle cable and feel if any air comes out of the blow off valve.

The HKS does sound like compressor surge, thats the "sequential" part of it working

Cool. New problem now though...i'm runnin an Uberdata basemap, and i gotta give it some gas to get it to start. And it unexpextedly turns off on me? ??? i'm probably running pig rich...guess it's time to check the injectors. Thanks for clearing that up whitey :P...now how do i tell if my BOV ever fails since it sounds like surge lol
