bov leak, causes missing ???

[TRICKS]

I have a dragr bov on a BG5 GTB legacy ... after fixing the exhaust leak and rocker cover leak and the bearing / steer rack getting it all legal to drive I noticed its missing while driving it... I gave it to a local mechanic now they tell me the problem is my bov, that its leaking etc etc

The dragr bov seems to be sucking in air through trumpets which will stick to my hands and at times would not, im looking now to either re plumb the bov back into the OEM factory setup or will buy a HKS bov (legit one as they don't leak)

thought I'd throw this out there to get some feed back on the topic

Wouldn't think it would miss fire as its nothing to do with the spark - but if it was open under vac conditions it will be sucking air causing it to run lean which will run rough and weak and surge - and on boost it will leak and cause it to run rich

Does it leak under vac ? Probably the piston getting a bit stuck - can probably pull apart and clean the piston and bore and give alight lube and it might be all right

I pulled the bov apart and gave it a clean .. I seem to think they the garage hooked up the bbod lines wrong because it never did this before I took it to them, I will get the guys at highbrook auto, take a look at it, so will snail trail it there on Monday.. was going to check the BBOD lines see if there some a miss

found that the garage never reinstalled the top mount properly the plastic parts to the inter-cooler and turbos were not sitting in there properly, found bolts missing to the turbo bracket and the straps securing on the throttle body and IC / turbos were loose.

plans to take it to Highbrook auto on Monday, have them re-check it.
