I only can confirm Kyles theory. When I installed my Forge BPV I made a pressure test on the turbo plumbing and noticed the pressure was pushing the valve open at about 0.9 bar. So I put a thick copper wire under the valve spring and oriented the valve in the way it is oriented in the 9-3 and 9-5 : no more leak !!
But I never made the link with the 2nd gear behaviour, now I understand !
Perhaps the explanation of my boost fluctuations (!!!) is also BPV related ??? I really should make a WOT test run w/o the BPV just to see but I will have to wait for a zero traffic period on the motorway because I will not be able to lift throttle then !!
Thanks for the info
Alain
