I hooked up the manual boost controller and the psi read fine but there is a vent coming off the boost controller that the instruction say should just vent into the engine bay. I can feel this vent sucking air when not on the throttle, should it be connected to something or just venting to the engine bay?

I have an rb25det with a t3/t4 garrett ball bearing turbo.

So the bleeder vent also works as a vac leak at idle, nice. Run some hose off it to a one-way check valve... Then it won't leak at idle but will still vent under boost.
