Default Repairing blow off valves

I recently let my brother borrow my HKS SSQ and his turbo went a little crazy with it by boosting 25psi at peak throttle and so I get it back and now it won't hold the pressure as it should, I believe that its broken because we tried to put it back onto his car and to no avail it doesn't work right. Is there any shop of anyone that I can be referred to, to get my bov fixed? If so please let me know, THANKS!

i say call hks or email them or something and ask them how much boost your bov should be able to hold, then say you were only pushing 5 psi less then you put it on your bros car pushing 2 psi less then you and now it won't hold pressure right. they should repair it or give you money off of a new one or even send you a new one. good luck thanks mike
