no, it shouldnt leak at idle. probably something wrong with the valve.

Since your car uses a speed-density system for engine control, a leaking BOV won't matter too much. That is, if the valve works correctly otherwise.
I found that I get a fair amount of compressor surge on mild throttle lifts with the HKS SSQV, so I run the stock valve for daily driving. With an intake, the stock one makes plenty of noise. When I want attention (at the drag strip, etc.), I switch over to the HKS. -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
