BOV not making same noise

[VicBoost]

Quick question so i had a special nozzle for my BOV because it so damn tall but that one broke. So i got a new one but the BOV is not making same noise as it did before.... there was a leak at the top of the BOV but i taped that up. I think the nozzle is too tall. Should i do a boost leak test?

What kind of BOV is it, and yes I would definitely do a boost leak test. You cant fix a boost leak with tape.

It looks like this http://www.dsmtuners.com/parts/product_info.php?cPath=3_146_64&products_id=282, so when you close the trunk i believe the hose gets cracked so i think i need a shorter nozzle or something.

1. You shouldn't be venting.

2. You should install it under the hood, not in your trunk.

3. Boost leak test is never a bad thing.

Sorry i said trunk, wow I wasn't awake when I made that post. Obviously under the hood. How can i vent through my air intake, when i bought the car it came like that. I haven't found a rubberhose big enough to go around that outlet and then to my air filter box.

If you are having that bad of problems, venting is a big problem. THe cheapest way to go is just get a 1g BOV and recirculate. You might also look into a evo BOV since it looks like yours clamps on the evo should go right in and allow you to do it correctly. Can you take a pic of how yours is set up now? What ever you do dont put it in the trunk. (j/k)

If your having that many problems with the bov you should just get a new one. Find someone to trade with if you can. Thats what I'm doing, I'm trading my apexi for a type s so I can recirculate.

Just pick up a 1g BOV or a greddy than recirculate it. You can find the 1g BOV's for fairly cheap.
