I just took out and then hooked up a new intake pipe, filter, UICP, LICP, and BOV, when I rev it just a little bit I hear a whistling sound coming from one of those parts and when I hit full boost it makes like a farting/honking sound, do you have any idea what that could be? Is it driveable? I have to make a 2 hour round trip to a show tomorrow so let me know ASAP! Thanks,

I think I found the problem...the vaccum line that goes into the intake is not plugged in, the reason is because the person who owned the intake pipe before me had some other BC so they filled in the hole of where it is supposed to go into...I have about 4 hours before I leave to the show, what should I do? Thanks
 
Yeah, sounds to me like the BOV was rapidly opening and closing. But if you've now connected all the lines, you should have solved your problems.
 
the one vaccum line is still not connected, I tried blocking it with a screw and the honking noise didn't stop while I'm at full or close to full boost...anybody else think they might know how to fix that noise? Thanks,
-Justin
 
I guess I am unsure of what the "honking" sound is. Can you possibly describe it more? I'd still check out the BOV. Make sure it's on the right line, it's connected in the right place, and it's tight enough. My friend has a GReddy Type-S, and his whistles slightly, but it's the return coming off of it going back in to the intake for the turbo.
