Â Your idle may also have a lower HG than the valve does. Â This may cause the valve to open while you are at idle. Â It is best to have an aftermarked boost gauge hooked up so that you know what your actual idle setting is. Â The stock boost gauge is just the ECU's best guess as to what your levels are.

Â
As the intake manifold  becomes positively charged (boost) it pushes the diaphram of the bov valve closed holding the boost in
