My BoV leaking would be under boost, which it holds boost just fine. It would be stuttering if it was leaking. I don't know if you saw some of the other threads about Japanese tuned ECUs, but most of the threads were posted in by people who actually DO tune ecus, and they were saying that the ignition advance is pretty crazy, and that it's fine on cars with high octane levels, but on california piss 91 octane, it will lead to detonation, pre-det=bearing stress.

Mine's Inquiry Form
I can tell you it caused problems with my engine, because I replaced my oil pan about two months ago, no metal or anything in the pan.
I started to run the car a bit harder, and noticed it would stutter a bit after 4k rpms, did an oil change about three weeks ago, to find gold sparkles in my oil. Luckily its still running, but I'm assuming there was some damage done to my bearings, which sucks since I just bought this motor, and will probably have to rebuild it.
Be careful with that blitz ECU.
