Need some help with HKS RS INTAKE/ Greddy type s bov

Installed my hks rs intake, with my existing greddy type s bov. With the intake it is obviously a lot louder but it sounds wierd. At full boost it makes a high pitch short squeel, and at low boost flutters for a second then woosh. It just doesnt sound right, I have a video thats 3 megs if you know what your talking about just Msg me on AOL IM: DaSweep and I'll be happy to send it to you to try and figure this out. Please only msg me if you have expierence in what your taking about.

thanks

Dude I think you got the Greddy BOV installed up side down. Check out road race engineering's website on the EVO section they have a pix of the greddy BOV type - s installed.

Whoa, yeah that looks like the BOV is installed backwards. The top of it should be pointed towards the radiator, not the hood. Eeekk!

Shouldnt throw any codes... just cause a little compressor surge, but not enough to mess anything up. Flip 'er around and check it out !!

Happy Boosting,
