BOV maintenance
Had my 97 A&A corvette dynoed after 7 years. Was down about 100hp, found out my bov was stuck open just enough to make it sound like everything was OK. I guess I will be doing some regular maintance on the bov from now on

This is why I recommend a pressure test as part of routine maintenance for forced induction vehicles.
I apply 25psi of pressure to the inlet of my turbocharger and fill all the plumbing and intake manifold to find every leak.
If you've never done this, you are going to find many leaks. Then after that, a few months later, you'll fine a split hose, a leaking pcv valve, a torn coupler, all kinds of stuff can happen over time.
