On a manual yes it should bearly bleed off when you let off and it should only open long enough to vent or recurclate. and how long its open is limited to how long it takes you to shift or when it finishes venting.
the longest it should take is around 2-3 secs

if its staying open longer then either you have a boost leak or you have a week spring.
I haven't tested it for a leak yet, (still making my leak tester) but I am thinking it is leaking around the BOV. The car just doesn't seem to pull as hard now that I installed the BOV.

After I did the airbox mods and installed the 3" charge pipe, the car would pull pretty strong all the way up the RPM range. I could actually be cruising along is 2nd gear and start rolling in the throttle and when the boost built up it would start to spin the tires. Now it won't do that. When I roll into the throttle now, it starts to pull pretty good, then seems to flatten out.
