Hola Manuel, me llamo Luis y soy de Venezuela.
Hace poco instale un turbo Greddy con un HKS SSQV BOV. Tengo un sonido muy extrano cuando suelto el gas y he llamado a todo el mundo, todos los amigos que saben de turbos y cada mecanico en la ciudad y no saben decirme que es lo que pasa. Cada quien me sale con una historia diferente. Unos me dicen que el sonido es normal del BOV, otros me dicen que esta regresandose el aire al turbo, otros me dicen que mi pipe no es lo suficientemente ancha, otros me dicen que el sonido es normal de los turbos. Es muy raro, cuando suelto el gas suena como un caballo primero y despues si se escucha el BOV. Es como un caballo relinchando, o como un pato o una cosa asi. Me gustaria poder contactarte por telefono a ver si asi logras escuchar el sonido y ayudarme un poco con esto. Tu ayuda sera muy apreciada. Ya no hayo que hacer, estoy preocupado.


Sorry everyone...

Hola amigo! Voy a tratar de traducir para que los demas te entiendan...
<Hello friend! I'm going to try and translate so the others can understand...>

Translation:

Hello Manuel, my name is Luis and I'm from Veneuela.
Some time ago I installed the Greddy Turbo and a HKS SSQV BOV. I have a very weird sound when getting off the gas and I've called everybody, my friends that know about turbos and every mechanic in the city and they can't tell me what's going on. Everybody has a different story. Some say it's the normal BOV sound, others say it's air returning to the turbo, other say the pipe is not big enough and other say is just normal turbo sound. It's very weird, when I let off the gas it sounds like a horse first then like the BOV. It's like a horse whinnying or like a duck or something like that. I'd like to be able to contact you on the phone so maybe you could hear the sound and help me with this. Your help will be very appreciated. I don't know what to do, I'm worried



there... anybody can help him? sounds to me like he needs to adjust his BOV to open earlier/faster?

Luis,

I think that I know the sound that you explain..............
Probably your problem is that you have low vacuum.............
change your BOV hose to a 5/16" one.

problem solved?
let me know.

Puedes tomar el vacuum de diferentes puntos de la araña................
lo mejor es que hables con el que hizo la instalacion para que lo haga y ver
si esto resuelve el problema

Saludos,

El problema es que la cajita negra HKS de donde salen las mangueras esta lejos en el extremo izquierdo del carro.

Chris,

Manuel told me to make the vacuum line bigger, the one connected to the BOV. Do not go 5/16 since that is very big. I went bigger and did not solve the problem. I will keep trying different things to see what solves it. Are u using HKS SSQV? Let me know and if you can record a clip of the sound that will help us know if it is the same problem and will help us fight together with more confidence against this issue.

Luis,

El vacuum que estas usando no te sirve por que el habre solo con un relay....................
Como yo lo tengo es de la siguiente forma:
Del BOV conecta una manga lo mas corta posible luego le pones la "T" aqui
vas a conectar dos mangas (cortas) una debajo de la araña (como la mia) y conecta la otra
en un check valve que es como verde y blanco (esta bien cerca del trottle)

Te dejo que voy para el cumpleños de mi sobrino!

Good luck,

Manuel
