Anybody ever get something stuck in their blow-off valve?
Instead of whistling I can hear the pipe the valve is attached to vibrate. I drove through Nebraska and hit some hay and scooped mass amounts of that **** around my intercooler area and found some of it around various parts of my engine bay. Also anybody hear of a blow off valve just going bad? I have a Greddy one for reference. Nebraska I drove about 3000 miles the past couple days so it might not have anything to do with the hay but I cant think of anything else.

if you actually think you have something in your blow off valve, i would remove your charge piping and get that **** outta there. inspect your charge piping up to the throttle place to make sure theres no hay loosely chillin in there. it can only get worst when you start hearing sputtering from your motor but hay is not meant to go through your motor. if your blow off valve vacuum is still connected and everything seems installed fine but you find sum hay in that blow off valve, ditch it. good luck to ya!

I see BOVs stick a lot, some for no obvious reason. I just get them unstuck with WD40 (which is KEROSENE and NOT a LUBRICANT!) and then wipe them off, coat the piston/bore with white lithium spray (which IS a LUBRICANT!).
I love the chemical peppermint smell of the stuff *sigh*

Well checked it and nothing is in there. Im thinking maybe the BOV just went bad. I had it on cruise control the whole time so its been being used alot due to the throttle adjustments. When I get home ill take it off and lube it up so if that helps.
