Default bad BOV?

ran into an odd problem today, last nite i was driving around and went to pass someone ...after that whenever i went to give the car some gas, i would just hear air escaping from somewhere and the motor would not build any boost. i thought i had just blown a pipe loose, but got under the car and all the hoses and pipes are tight as could be. when the car is not moving, it will built boost no problem, but when im driving its not doing ****. put the car on a lift this morning and tightened the spring for the BOV and that seemed to fix the problem, and its building boost fine now. just wondering is this early signs of my BOV going bad, or something with the turbos?
