Post The 6 million dollar BOV

I have a 993 style BOV plumbed back into my J pipe ( with a little magic) I had to use a 90 degree PVC bend. When I shift while there is POSITIVE pressure, you can hear a "rapid" CHH CHH CHH CHH CHH CHH CHH sound that is reminisent of the ol' 6 million dollar man show. WHY? is it because of the 90 bend? It's PRETTY DARN loud! Under a load, the induction noise is LOUDER than the exhuast! I really think I should pick up a FORGE valve.

O, and this car pretty much stands on it's rears while accelorating! I am afraid I will have NOOO traction when I replace these shocks

Luke,,put a vaccum tester on the top of your BOV,,I bet it's blown. It starts making the noise as soon as you push in the clutch to shift? Do you have a Mighty Vac? I think its blown, mine did the same thing the first drive after the upgrades.

Are you considering shimming it, or welding an open?
