My truck now at idle, opens the blow off valve because it is producing boost that goes no where with the throttle plates closed. I thought it was messed up, but before I fixed it, it was blowing past the carb hat gasket.

Wow thanks I'll have to look at mine now. I've been thinking of doing a boost leak test, just to see if everything is good.
Mighty car mods explane it well.
