The two month old BPC in my '96 CSE was giving me base boost. The resistance measured fine. I took it out and blew through the tubes. The top tube was almost airtight, the others I could blow through. I tapped the top of the tube with the butt of a screwdriver and it loosened up the disc inside. I tapped the bottom, middle and center a few times until I could blow or suck air through all of them. Reinstalled and I have full boost whenever I want it. Checked by disconnecting the BPC... that got me base boost. Reconnected and all is good. Feels like a new car... can go to the bottom of the red in any gear but first (where it is limited anyway), and under load, like a hill, I can go into the red before the ECU backs it down.
I don't know if this is an abberation or not, but the car drives great and feels very responsive. A couple others here have had similar experiences, so it is something to consider when the BPC seems to be giving trouble but the resistance is still OK.
