#12921, "boost gauge stopped working, also a question about venting into the atmosphere,"
ok i had a boost leak where the hose goes into the B0V, i got a new hose and fixed it. in the process i took off the connector from the bov to the intake, i covered the atmosphere intake part so it didnt leak, but when i was drivin it for about 5 min venting into the atmosphere, the car felt way faster and the boost gauge stopped working. i checked all hoses and wires in the engine bay and they seem fine, the gaige has power, when i check memory it works fine.
what could be the problem, and why is venting into te atmosphere bad? almost every eclipse in my area i have seen is venting into tha atmosphere.
