well my problem is fixed. not sure exactly what fixed it.
i replaced a bunch of vac lines, replaced the bov and disconnected the battery.
idk if its the reset that fixed it, idk if the vac lines fixed it(it was very hard and brittle) and idk if the BOV fixed it. idk if this is a proper test, but i disconnected the vac line on the hks and revved up the engine for a small boost (approx 5-8psi) and check if there was air blowing out of the bov and there was none.

This is normal operation. you won't feel anything because the boost isn't high enough to compress the spring and there's no vacuum on the other side.

anyways glad you fixed the issue. hope it stays gone
