Well today i fixed my wonderful coolant hose that sprung a leak yesterday, and in the whole thing i had to take of my UIC pipe, and also my intake pipe, so i get it all back together and took it out for a test drive, and now my BOV is making this high wind/hissing sound while in boost, and i'm not making any boost above 6 pounds, i'm guessing a boost leak, but i already check every vacuum line, and nothing is loose. i know you guys sometimes frown upon the GReddy S-Type, but i was young and stupid when i bought it and now i don't have the money to get another one. i just don't know whats up with it, so if you could give me some advice with the problem it would be much help.
Thanks, Chris
 
i've had bad problems with my type s until i did a vacum test on it and found out it was leaking..i made a new gasket, sealed up everything, adjusted it correctly and now it works fine.. i suggest getting a vacum pump to test it, or take it off and make sure everything looks fine and be sure to re-tighten all your house, just incase u missed something.
 
Ok, i checked out my BOV to see what was up, no leaking of anysort, but i have to crank the spring all the way to the hard position it still makes that noise but now it'll let me boost all i want, i know its not a big problem, its just that i don't like the high speed winding sound. if anyone has had this problem or knows what this problem it and can solve it, that would be great.
thanks, chris
