Default Stock ATI BPV?

How much boost on a stock 346 (for measurement sake) can the stock ATI BPV hold before it starts bleeding through?

Very curious.

About 14psi is the limit where I would rather see a race valve on the car. Not because the the valve bleeds open, but because of the cfm that needs to be released.

This is for P-1SC, D-1SC. The F-series blowers always require a Race Valve.

Thanks for the info. I'm half convinced that mine is bleeding off boost is why I asked, but releasing the right amount of cfm is another excellent advantage.

12 PSI on mine and I picked up the ProCharger Race BPV - much better than their original one that came with the P1's

Thanks,Matt
