i hate my bov
i hate it. It's the hks ss it makes no noise all i can hear is my wastegate. Is the hks ss just not that loud? I love the Greddy type-s my friend has a bone stock gst all it has is the type s and his is loud as ****. Is it because it is a rotary engine or because the hks is just gayyyyyy.

if your wastegate is external vented it's loud as **** and no BOV will be louder. but they are at different times. you should hear the BOV between shifts. the wastegate noise happens when you on the gas in boost.

the wastegate will make noise while you are on the gas. the BOV makes noise when you let off.

RX7withNitrous, it is not your wastegate
It is compressor surge, it is the sound of air going back through the turbo. Basicly your BOV is not venting anything, or not 'enough'.

there is a bolt on the back of it ya i don't want to unscrew it too much and have it come out. Is there a spring or anything that could fall out if i took it out too far?
