Default Question about boost leak.............

Now my DVR has come loose before on one of the inlets (the one that screws in) I've tightened it before when I noticed it one day. But I didn't have a boost gauge so I couldnt tell if I was losing boost. Yesterday I was holding steady boost at between 21-27 psi. Now would that loose inlet or outlet whatever you want to call it, cause a slow boost leak?

Thats the boost side of the valve so yes, If it's leaking, it's leaking boost

Default Thats what I thought, I needed confirmation though.

Damn, Looks like its going back to Forge and I'll be back to stock DV for a while.
I wander how many stock ones i'll go through with REVO.

Default Why would you send it back? Is it broken somehow? If not then...>>>

Put a little bit of locktite (or nail polish) on the(cleaned)threads and screw it back together. It wont come apart again, I promise.
