I have NO idea what is causing this sound. I made a thread about it a while ago on my old car about a weird squeel at certain rpm. My new car didn't do it..... Until I swapped off the atmo BOV for the standard nissan BOV the f**king sound came back! Its like a EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sound which will just maintain it self if I can locate the RPM its produced at. So what I mean, if the sound occurs at 2000rpm, the sound will finish as soon as I get to 2100 rpm. but if I hold 2000rpm it will keep going until i let go or go a little faster.

What the hell is it? Is it a failing BOV? Is it a leak?

Unlikely to be the BOV. The BOV would only fail at a certain pressure if it were faulty, not an RPM. Because of this, you would be able to replicate the sound at a certain throttle point for any given RPM (not guaranteed).

I'd be thinking check your belts.

Does it make the sound at 2000rpm when the car isn't moving in neutral? If so, pop the bonnet and rev the engine by manually opening the throttle body with your hand. Find the point where it makes the sound, and try to work out where it's coming from.

Only when in gear and only if I hold certain pressure. If I'm rolling down a hill a 2krpm it wont make the sound, but if I pushing up a hill at 2krpm it will make the sound. It is only if there is pressure. If I remove the BOV and fit my atmo BOV back on, the sound is gone. It made exactly the same sound in a completely different car(the exact same BOV).

^ if blocking it doesnt get rid of the sound, also take a a look at the gaskets and studs around the exhaust manifold and turbo area. I had a couple of broken studs and a chunk of exh manifold gasket missing. Made a real high pitched squeal all the way to redline when on boost. drove me fkn insane...

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
