my boost leak w/APS bov: video

So I went to AMS(in DC) on monday to have my Comp 280 cams installed then tuned on their new dyno. I was hoping for some better numbers but my car wouldn't boost higher than 25psi. It would spike 25 then drop to 20 by 7200rpm. We thought it might be the Forge MBC so we put a Hallman on and same deal. So I was only able to squeeze 354whp and 364tq with the boost like this. So today I had the time to take a look over the car and do a boost leak test and found my only boost leak was my APS bov. The nut/screw on the top was leaking so I put some teflon tape on it. I haven't drove the car yet with it fixed so i can't say if it worked but lets hope. I let yall know in a little bit. Heres a video of the leak. oh and the sound in the background is my little pos air compressor.

AMS didn't do a boost leak test for you? I want to have them do a custom tune on mine, but also want it boost leak tested first.

It was AMS in Maryland. No they didn't do a test, i thought everything was in perfect working order but... AMS did their part though. Good guys down their!

Yep my APS was leaking also so I put teflon tape on the top screw and no more leaks. I havn't ran it to much since because I put my stocker back on until I upgrade my turbo soon.
