Hey everyone,
Ive been hearing this rattle coming from my 3SGTE. it starts about 10 PSI, and I think the Boost isn't going past 10-ish PSI as well. I Have a Blitz adjustable BoV on it just off of the intercooler. now my thought is, the Valve inside, is not able to stay closed at 10-ish PSI and starts to flutter open. is this possible? is it easy to repair if so? Thanks, Kevin This post has been edited by Soulend: Mar 31, 2011 - 1:24 AM |

yea, kev, it happens to all of us.
i've had alot of things come loose from not tqing them right, or not using locktite, or a combo of both over the years. its a good idea after a swap to check things over once a week or so for the first couple of months, just for that very reason. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
