With regards to the BPV...audi vw and i think subby all have that bosch bpv, and thats just no bueno for me. thing leaks like a sinkin ship after about 2 years. at least if you get something aftermarket you will be less likely for that to occur.

I would disagree that Subaru is using a Bosch BPV, and that it leaks after a few years.

I'm on my stocker on my '02, with modifed boost levels, and 65k on the clock. No leaking here.
 
I dunno if Subbie uses bosch. But the Audi/VW BPV seems fine to me. Even the upgraded stocker is just fine and for their price it doesn't even matter if they go bad every couple of years. Like I said, I think they're about 40 bucks.
 
I found out that anytime your boost controler is off it will only boost at wastegate press. 6~8psi depending on the weather

B, what do you think could be causing to get max of 7-8 psi when boost controller is off? boost solenoid?

Tell me exactly how you put it back to stock? Maybe just set the EBC to 12 psi? :)
