Turbo Leak.. BOV?

Whats up team, long time no problems..


Car has been parked for a while, shes a bit cold out so i dont want to go fuss with it... So instead i'll get some opinions..

when the car is under full throttle makes a squeeling sound, doesn't sound like a piping leak.. But sounds like maybe the blow off valve could be leaking? I have an aftermarket Blitz blow off valve, its an older one (the one with the big vent) not the DD or SS.. And the squeel from under the hood sounds like it might be from the BOV.. Is there anyway to verify? if so, any way to fix the problem? Sping kit? or an O-ring kit?

Evan

Yeah, but it never leaked before, do you think that the spring might be getting weak and needs to be replaced? Or can blow off valves be rebuilt

Basically what happens when a blow off valve starts to leak under boost..... Can they be fixed? I have access to all types of o-ring kits... Can they be rebuilt?
