is there something wrong with my HKS SSBOV to make it sound like this. Its started making this different sound when i installed a AEM EMS and GM boost solenoid. i was tinkn maybe because i tee it off the bov hos to the boost solenoid but even if i without the tee in it sounds like this theres no leaks or anything i checked all that. is this normal? i never messed with BOV . i did tap intercooler piping for the AIR temp sensor thats bout it. sorry bout the cheessy people thats me and my cuzin haha

any thoughts if theres something wrong with bov

Unless I'm missing the "sound" you're talking about it sounds like a HKS SS Bov to me. As long as it is not leaking who cares anyway?

 

its not as high pitch wistle it sounds like a really loud greddy

 

hasnt that annoying flutter ever get old.. and yes it doesnt sound right.. sounds like the smaller valve is not opening correctly.. if you enjoy your turbo i would get rid of that thing..

 

I didnt bother to listen, if it sounds like its fluttering (described by the local morons as a clown laughing) it is most likely compressor surge, which is bad...

 

i'll which it with another hks see what happens my bother has one on his car that sounds normal

 

switch the HKS with my brothers and same thing sounds normal on my bro but different on mine i put my bros on mine and it sound the same still lost on why it sounds like that only in my car hmmmm?

 

is it the ebay "HKS"?

 

nope bought it brank new at top speed in chi town like 2 years ago sounded ok till all the AEM and boost solenoid installl

 

Have you got a good vacuum source? Those BOVs aren't adjustable so as long as you have a good gasket and good vacuum you shouldn't get the fluttering. Something is up in your setup.

Edit: Sorry I had Greddy in my head from your post. There is obviously no gasket, what I should've said is make sure your O-ring is good and the clip is secure.

i had an hks on my evo 8...it sounded nothing like that, theres something wrong there. take it off nowwwwwwwww

 

MAJOR compressor surge. He doesn't have the vacuum nipple on the hks bov. I love the sound though.

 

i put to HKS bov on my bros car and it sounds nomal then back on my car and still sounds weird then i put my bros HKS thats less than 1000 miles on it on my car too and still the same weird sound and the vaccum line is on thats the first thing i checked vaccum is off the stock bov line so that has to be good i wonder if its the location of the bov cause it was moved close to the outlet side of the intercooler???
