ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 So I don't have to take off the dump valve just block the little vacuum hose? I've noticed alot of people do it. Does it sound cool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah I want chatter but no coin for a FMIC yet . My old BOV used to chatter but got the HKS one now and it's getting borin. Far too loud! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Now i'm just jealous. I loved the sound of the chatter from my old BOV but was too quiet. I think I might have a go at blocking off my dump valve. although its a little bit dark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nads Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 BOV is attached to the turbo to intercooler pipe if that makes sense lolWould post a pic but I don''t know how.the round thingy ? with 2 vacuum hoses coming out ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hmm not sure i'm a bit new to the whole turbo thing. You have one pipe from your turbo to the inlet mani. Then there is the one that comes down the front and connects to the turbo but there is a little pipe that comes off that which has my bov on it. then there is a little vacuum hose that comes off the bov and goes to where ever. I'm not sure where. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
