Supercharger lag

My 2006 MCS with 43,000 miles has recently developed what seems to be lag. It sometimes will not "kick in" until 3,500 or so RPM's. it seems to be getting worse.

What should I look for? BPV?

BPV or belt slippage from the crank pulley going bad maybe. Why not call your friend Chad at Total MINI and have him help you out?

Just to update this.

Detroit Tuned BPV is the cure. Stock BPV are garbage!
