How loud should a stock BoV be? I really can't hear mine...

[EfiniX]

Mind you that the car is rather loud. Before I did the dodge mod, I was getting very noticeable flutter when the valve would open. After the dodge mod, the flutter is gone. now I'm not saying it isn't opening. It's perfectly possible I wouldn't hear it. That being said, are there symptoms I can check for of a BoV that doesn't open? The car runs, boosts, and idles just fine.

On stock intake it is really quiet. On an aftermarket intake like a dejon 2g, it is louuuuuud. Lots of BOV and lots of Turbo spool noise.

Mine got very loud after swapping to a FP intake, doing the dodge garage mod and turning up the boost.

I can barely hear mine, on wastegate pressure with an aftermarket intake. But it goes into the stock MAF/intake which likely muffles it a lot.

I have the dodge mod with ecmlink controlling it. Under light load I hear it very well. Under heavy load and quick shifts, I barely hear it. Currently using a 2.5in steel intake with no MAF. Running a S16g at 22psi. There's a lot that can change the sound of the valve.

I think with yours since you have it venting through a 180 bend, that might be absorbing noise quite a bit.

This is because of your stock intake. That bend and all the flex in the piping, combined with the stock maf causes it to happen. I have a Dejon intake for sale just for the record guys /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have an aftermarket pipe that goes to the stock MAF. But yes still quiet although I can hear a PSH faintly.

If you were asking about the intakes, see this Link . I would do a local discount especially if you pick it up.

No, stop it there. No more threads ending in discussions about Mike.

Dodge garage with a 2.5 inch steel intake recirc piped in at a 45. With 21psi it is very pronounced. So mutch so that it sounds aftermarket or open to atmosphere. Love it though. Wouldn't change it.

 

[EfiniX]

yeah, this is why I'm asking. I'm running around 24psi and I don't hear a noisy pssssh. That being said, I don't hear a scream or screech from compressor surge either. Might just not be all that loud. I have a partial hard-pipe, but a full pipe would certainly be an improvement so I don't have hard rubber elbows.

 

[EfiniX]

I should say that it dawns on me that I know my BoV must be working since it literally blew off the old dump hose. You think I would remember that thread since I'm the one that wrote it....

I lol'd

I had the stock intake plumbing when I had the E316g at around 30 and it was as if it was vta. Yes, when the boost was at stock and 14b, it wasn't noticable.

 

[strokin4dr]

evo3 16g, ets FMIC with all hard piping, FP 4" intake w/ no mas (SD), huge K&N filter and modded 1g bov vented. Running 24 psi.
Noticeable when releasing pressure at any boost level and very loud/aftermarket sounding if releasing full boost pressure.

I've got a T3-T04 w/ a .62 clip, 2g MAF, big K&N, custom 4" hard pipe w/ welded recirculation pipe, hard rubber intake bends, a recirculated dodge-modded 1g BoV (not crushed), ETS FMIC kit w/ all hard pipes, and I'm running 24psi as well.

I'm not hearing the woosh, but I"m also not hearing the scream or flutter of a compressor surge. I'm wondering if my recirculated setup is simply not as loud as the rest of my car at-speed. Like I said before, it blew the old rubber recirculation hose off, so I must assume it's doing something...
