Default Mopar Bov = Boost Leak

I pulled my Mopar Bov today, and my car runs great again!!! It has been only boosting 10-13 psi, and the car has been idling like crap. I have only been getting 150-170 mile per tank of gas. I don't know about the gas mileage, but it is boosting up to 16psi! The car idles smooth, and pulls amazingly well..... Oh, and I don't get as many looks

the edges of it are rounded. if you sand it down to having square corners you should be good to go.

Just like any part for a car, if it is not installed and sealed right it will hurt performance. 42,000 miles on mine and counting. No leaks. It seams the like a RTV sealant tube should be offered with every one. lol
