Take a length of vaccuum hose that's about 2ft long. Stick one end in your ear and use the other end to probe around all the flanges. It'll be really obvious if you have an exhaust leak.
If you are smelling raw exhaust from under the hood it stands to reason that you might have an exhaust leak.

Thats it.
I never put one on, so boost is going into the canister...
Hmm is there an easy fix for this, that doesnt require getting a check valve? Seems i could just remove the whole thing (no emissions here) and cork off the vac lines that were used, or just use them for something else instead of ting off of one.

If i were to just rip it out and either plug or use the vac lines it was using for something else, would that work?
Ill most likely fix it, in case i need to pass emissions one day...
