Blitz BOV wont vent at idle

I adjusted it until the threaded post was almost all the way out and it still wont vent at idle. when i'm driving I can hear it going off so it is working in that sense. Not sure if this matters or will help you but my boost gauge at idle reads 19 on the vac side.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

So The BOV isn't leaking. I played with the screw some more still wont vent at idle but it doesn't take much throttle to get it to blow off a little bit. when i pulled the adjustment screw all the way out it was sucking air in through the hole. Is that normal?


This may be a stupid question but i will ask any way. Is there any thing a shop would have done other then adjust the BOV to stop the car from stalling out? When i first got the supercharger the car would stall when i was slowing down to a stop. So i took it to the shop that installed it so they could fix it and when i got it back the car wouldn't stall. would they have done something to affect the BOV not to vent at idle?
