Sounds like the valve is opening. Greddy's are none for this. They usually cant hold more than 20 psi. Get a better bov.

^ +1. Thats the only thing you could do besides replacing the spring or seeing if the diaphragm is bad.

No. I would suggest just using a different BOV though. Why you change. The IX bov are good. As well as the forge.
