Stock Plumbback Bov Going Ppphhssss

[iam_dominic]

I think i've got a problem somewhere, because my stock BOV (plumb back) sounds like one of those loud aftermarket BOV that are vented into the atmosphere... is there maybe a air leak somewhere?

I supose it sounds cool and all,but its just too lound and brings attention from the wrong people (cops)

got a pod filter?

they are quite loud when you have a pod.

if you don't like it, put the stock air box back on with a good panel filter.

it'll muffle the sound a fair bit.

you must have a pod filter. the air from the stock bov goes back through a pipe and ends up right in front of the air flow meter, making it almost as audible as an atmospheric one. you could always go back to the stock airbox, as this will dampen the sound almost completely.

as for leaks, if you rev the car from the engine bay listen to where the noise is coming from, my guess is the pod.

hope that helps

currently have no filter at all... but will try the pannel and pod filter to see if it makes a difference

you mean you have no filter in the air box or you don't even have an air box?

LOL if you have no filter that's probably what you're hearing.

It's also possible if you're running massive boost that the BOV isn't up to the job of venting the air and you're infact hearing reverb.. but you'd have to be running plenty of boost.

i just currently have the empty airbox -

i attached a POD and put in a standard pannel one... still just as loud

plenty of boost.. im running only on 0.6 bar - how much boost can these stock BOVs take?
