hks bov- air leak?

for the past weeks ive been experiencing some lost in boost. i can't seem to get over 10psi. my best guess was that im leaking air from my hks ssqv bov. its attached to my fmic piping along with a universal flange. i checked all my piping and clamps- all were tight. ive even tried to close the bov all the way (turning back screw clockwise- which was instructed by the manual). could it be leaking in between the flange and the bov itself. the clip and red o-ring was placed where it should be. has anyone experienced the same problem?
thanks.

If you still have the properly functioning stock bypass valve, you could easily swap it out with the BOV. That would tell you if it was BOV-related boost problem. Other than that, I don't know how else to diagnose a BOV.

I wish I could help, but my setup's the same as yours and I'm having the same problems.

Any chance you're going to the track tomorrow night? Maybe we could compare notes. I'm going to be trying a few different things, troubleshooting, so I'll let you know what I find.

I'd check the rubber seal between the BOV and the pipe.
