Stock diverter valve stopped working
Ok i hope this is posted in the right place but. to make a long story short i have a HKS BOV SSQV and i am not no I AM CERTAIN it is not installed correctly, and i have not messed at all w/ the stock diver valve, and i took my mini to the dealership for a "service" check up i tohuht it was for the oil change but it wasnt it was for the service, they checked out everything and everything was fine.
so i get home and the next day i start my car and i noticed NO pressure being released from the turbo i know THIS IS Bad so i cant drive my car, if someone could please help on this issue thank you!! im willin to take pics of the by pass valve and stuff, idk if that'd help but id just like some input on this. thank you

trying to make sense of your writing is a challenge....but
you can start by removing the HKS BOV...its no help and completely unnecessary (and prob the cause of your problem)
then since you have an AP, using the live data logging feature to monitor the stock diverter valve...you will be able to see if its activating or not. Choose "BPV Act."

ok i will take the stock diverter valve off but i am going out of town later today so i might not get to it untill i get back but thank you for the advice ill try that and illl let ya'll know what happens! Thank you!

Well it will say "OFF" for most of the time, except when its being activated. For example, accelerate for a little bit then lift off, and it should switch to "ON", if it still says OFF during the throttle lift off...that is your issue.

Most likely there is a tear on the diaphragm (yellow boot) within the diverter valve. Remove the diverter, pull the face off if you can't see a tear from the outside easily. Are you producing more than 19psi? If so it's likely to happen again.

Thank you for pointing that out; I misinterpreted the "NO pressure" statement the first time read.
The OEM diverter valve won't stick in the traditional sense. The early model Forge BPV without the extra nipple can stick.

the engine lamp isnt on jsut the check engine light but i cleared that with the alta AP.
i am not producing more than 19 psi although i wish. i am producing, around.. 15. but thats just with the reflash not a actual tune. my map that i have is stage 0. since all mini ecu's are different, they had to make a map for the AP to work in the first place. but i uninstalled the ap to see if it would make any difference, but it didnt so i reinsatlled it to do the BOV test.

It's OK to drive the car without boost, it just won't have punch when accelerating. I assume you have an engine lamp on the tach?
