Alright. I just finished my Type-S install, and there's now a new sound in addition to the bov. After the turbo's in full swing, after 4500rpm, there's a 'whirrrrrr' sound from that point after. Would it be a vac leak? I originally thought so, but leaks don't make that harsh of a sound... do they?
 
Yes, I get a little bit of stuttering at full boost, but when I removed the stock BOV there was only 1 line. I installed this on a 2g, if there's another line I should attach to the bov, please tell me where it is! :(

Does your car stutter now at full boost? Did you hook up both vac lines on the bov?

Ive got this going on.. The smallest, downward angled hose fitting on the BOV currently isnt connected to anything, I thought that was for a like a manual boost controller, which I have on the way :p Could that be causing a problem?
 
get a t fitting and splice it into the turbo outlet pipe elbow, then run the vac line from the fitting to the lower nipple on the bov, that should fix it. Just watch at first your boost dont keep going up and up and up, It shouldent, but i've read some stories.
My turbo outlet hose now runs to the mbc, and the turbo outlet hose i have t'd off like i explained above, with no problems at all.
