Hmm, I wonder if he meant a leaky pcv...

Here is a pic of it though the replacement silicone connecting hoses to the intake has a check valve installed.

That pic was taken from one of the forums.

The plastic part with the circular shaped bit is the pcv and it can leak boost. It's attached by four screws. The actual silicone hoses and check valve set up is made by Eurojet and it should stop the boost leak from occuring.

Yes just remove the oem connecting hose and replace it with the Eurojet check valve + hoses .
