whats up fellas, i wanted a general consensus of the sound im getting from my bov. ive always wanted to know why I would hear air escaping, and once im in boost it would stop, then woosh out once i let off the gas. i went to a local shop and they told me i had a boost leak out of the BOV and sure enough there was a constant flow of air coming out of the bov (even when idling) the flow increases with acceleration.
this obviously means 1. stock BOV isnt holding the boost 2. need a new one? any suggestions guys? i will hopefully be finding out for sure if its a leak once i get my gauges installed. --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money.

the HKS is the most functional and "coolest sounding" BOV that most people prefer but also comes with a hefty price.
