Default BOV not working

Hi there Peoples..
Went to Mandurah today and on way home noticed my bov was not working..

By not working not Venting and after Searching here and else where am at a loss as to why it's all off a sudden stopped venting.. Normally vents around the 3000rpm area, and has been working fine till the trip home

My car is a 2005 Impreza Wrx Wagon and runs a aftermarket Turbosmart VeePort bov..and was on the car when i purchased it
So am at a loss as to the reason why it has stopped venting Have checked hose's where i can did notice there is no gasket where the bov mounts to the stock tmic..

I'll give you a tip

put the stock one back on..

most of those BOV's are push type valves and are prone to leaking.. it's probably something internal.

Stock one back on will fix I would suggest

Exact same thing happened to me, it turned out i had a slight leak where I put in a T piece for my boost gauge, this caused my bov to stop venting

ok if it's been tuned for a venting bov then fuel consumption is normal to my driving style.. but as i said the bov was not venting and did notice the fuel usage up as the bov was'nt opening ..
Hence fuel consumption up
