Only mods are Apexi Intake & Radiator.

We checked intake/turbo piping. No tears! I know my airpump is bad cause after 3k.. it stops/sticks..then keeps going.
Following advice on the forums I've disconnected the air pump. Sound still remains however I can actually rev and hear my vented Bypass/CCV now.

If anyones local in the south bay area (I live in torrance). And wants to investigate let me know! This sucks.. I finally bought my dream car..and has yet to experience the full capacity of it!

I only get boost randomly in 1st. Sometimes 2nd and 3rd.. thats if i mash WOT or downshift from 4th to 3rd..it makes that odd sound and then the 2nd turbo comes on hard.

Any idea how much it'd be to replace it? or where I can find one. I just bought my FD...totally coming from a different world. haha

well i just bought another ccv from another member for $20....the only thing is that you have to take your y pipe out to remove and replace the ccv. not bad just time consuming.most people would much rather go none sequential not to deal with all these actuators and hoses, but i personally would rather not...

did you try to troubleshoot the sequencial system. like the key on key off method. that would of told you if it is your cca. i had the same problem but it ended up being one of my tca soleniods.

when you said proton torpedo sound i was getting a picture in my head of Star Trek trying to remember the sound. then i thought to myself, hey that's gotta sound really neat. watched your video and it's really disappointing to what i heard.

Ordered the CCA from another member on the forums. Waiting for it to come in. If anyone has links or directions on how to replace/install shoot them my way. Im totally in the dark about this... and I'm stoked to finally feel the power of my new car!

REPLACED THE CCA THE SOUND REMAINS!!!!

Could it be a blown turbo? Flapper in the why pipe sticking? Bad solenoid? I have no idea!

If anyone lives in socal and has the time to check out my FD let me know!
