Stock bov location.
Hey so I potentially have a boost leak on my car (lost to a 2012 Rav 4 in a 50 roll) I have a slew of aftermarket parts on my car from injen charge pipes mpx intercooler k/n intake and a turbosmart adjustable bov. I've tried looking for the bov to no avail. previous owner told me that it may need to be adjusted to hold more boost but idk wh

Do you have a tune?
Make a boost leak tester and save yourself a bunch of time and effort.
The stock bpv is on the turbo, the ecu will limit your power or freakout if you try to mechanically force more boost.
The Rav4 sports arent slouches, not sure which years they were pretty quick.

Early 2010's Rav4 models had SS/SC power to weight ratios (270HP/3500-3600 lbs)... the newer ones are heavier and have less power (since they did away with the V6; 205HP/3600 lbs)... so no matter the year, you have something seriously wrong, or someone did something crazy/stupid to a Rav4.

Oh I'm sure the car isn't happy with all those mods and no tune. The ecu is a torque based ecu so adding mods doesn't add significant power as the ecu pulls back based on reference tables.

There's a tuner here in Ottawa who has tuned a bunch I got a quote for one at 900 bucks. I don't want to do anything crazy yet it's my daily running a stock clutch and still has the f35. Plus I have a esc problem where when it was on and I tapped my breaks it would freak and apply abs. Since than it has kinda fixed itself to where it would automatically turn esc off but leave traction on.

$900 is a lot... especially for such a basic tune. Maybe it's just Canada... but a dyno tune around here is like $500-$600.
Either way, you should figure out your ESC problem first. Don't get tuned with existing problems. i doubt your ESC problem is related to the tune.

It shouldn't be, as the ESC is a BCM control. Although I don't want to rule it out as Sox-Fan was having issues with his ESC during auto-x enough it made him sell his car, but before it sold he put it back to stock and did one last auto-x and the ESC issue wasn't there. Not saying this is normal, but just one case where a tune was related to an ESC issue.
I know LSJ's have problems with super sticky tires and the track... the PS motor can't take it. The solution was to wire in an HHR PS motor; I talked to Powell a little bit about it over the weekend since I'm wanting to run R-comps on the track. I didn't think the LNF's had the problem, but it might have been something similar of an issue.

Honestly it's weird cuz when I bought the car it was fine when I did the safety the mechanic said that there was something weird and to turn it off. All they did was breaks and a lower control arm due to the ball joint and than it started acting up but I drove the car half hour the way it was to the shop without an issue. And when I bought the car it had winter tires idk it's weird but still I think the highest power my car is reading is about 230-240 and my boost keep in mind it's Canada so it's weird is reading like 170kpa maybe a little less. Doesn't help I can't find anywhere what the factory boost was set at.
Plus the car is still running the factory tune. Also only reason I did the Mox intercooler is I cracked the factory one and to replace that new was 700 cdn compared to the Mpx at 570 at my door. Granted I did to NGK iridium spark plugs and was told not to gap them and just put them in so that may have messed with some of the power with a weaker spark.

Power problem solved!!!!
So my ******* had the wrong sparkplugs in the car gapping was 0.35 I went to a Benson's and not a crappy tire lol got the stock ac delcos gapped at 0.335 or some BS idfk but put them in and car now makes full power again. Lesson is sparkplug gapping for boosted cars is a big thing.
