okok guys, finished my DIY boost leak tester and hooked it up to the ic piping before the turbo and tried pressurizing the system. Started pressurizing and i'm hearing a faint leaking sound that's coming into the intake. Looked closer and realized that the recirculating valve is letting a little bit of air (recirculating) back into the intake. Now as far as I know shouldn't the valve stay completely shut and air tight until it hits 7psi or am I wrong? I took the valve off and blew through it to see if it was air tight and it was if I covered the little whole beside the main valve. What it's doing is letting air through the little whole at the bottom of the valve and I think that's what I'm hearing. So is this normal, do I have a faulty valve, or should I plug it up to fully pressurize the system??? Any input from you RB owners would be helpful! Thanks homies! O ya its a rb20 and I had a 13 hour day at work so I'm a little delirious right now..
