Default Boost leak damnit... What is this and how much does it cost... <sigh>
Well, the fuel milage was down, it seemed slow, and the boost wasn't peaking right. What could it be?

Well, reefer_bob being only slightly smarter than teh average n00b, did a pressure test! w00t. A couple PSI instantly said, TBB! So I put a new TBB on and re-tested. Now this little T, with a check valve under the PCV connection is cracked and leaking maddly.

What is it, and what does it cost? Part Number? The thread starter is pointing to it.

Default f00kin fenorkner.
Who was that sonovabitch, and why did he get a valve named after him?

I see you went with the Home Depot bar stool end to cap off the Y-pipe nipple.
