be warnned. BOV that make a high pitch sound means there is a restriction. Therefore, not all the presure is being released. The ones with a deep whoosh are the more effective type.

I have the super sequential... it's pretty cool. It's called super sequential because there are actually two valve paths inside, a little one and a big one. When only a little blow off is needed, the little one opens, and it serves as the mechanism that opens the bigger path. (there is a diagram on the box)

If you boost and then let off the gas only a little bit, it goes "psheeeee" and if you do it right you can stretch the sound out and annoy people, it sounds real cool in a tunnel... If you're boosting hard and then let way off like for a shift or to try and pop some flame, it makes the psheeeWWWWW sound. It's hard to describe.

He's probably right about the WHOOSH type being more effective, but unless you're running a ton of boost it's probably not too big a deal
