1g th and BOV

[rval22]

This is my first Thread, sup yall. But down to business. I recently installed a 1g bov to my 2g stock UICP and when I drive I can't hear the Bov at all. Is this normal, or am I not producing enough boost, because when I am around 6000 pms I can faintly hear it. Also, If anyone knows where I can purchase a 1g Tb, id appreciate it.

Your profile indicates that you are still using the stock intake tube. Upgrading this will allow you to hear the venting of your BOV much more. If you don't have the funds to do this right now you can "hack" the BOV dump tube. If you pull your intake and look in it you will see how the dump tube (which connects to the hose from the BOV) protrudes into it. If you cut or grind this down not only will it give you a less obstructed air path into the turbo but will accentuate the venting sound that you desire.

Upgrading from your stock UICP may help also.

BTW, if you don't already have an aftermarket boost guage it would be a VERY good idea to get one. I didn't see one listed in your profile.
