I noticed that my HKS BOV is not making noise no more (or very little under full boost). I took it out and it seems like its fine so could it be something wrong with it?

make sure nothing on exhaust side is loose, like wastegate bolts.. do you hear any rattle? i've had my intercooler pipe come off, no bov sound, but i couldn't boost..

I have the same problem. So one day I took the SSQV BOV apart and found the parts were loose and worn out. I guess they put more plastic in there than I thought. I love HKS n' all but they did a **** poor job making this BOV. Soon I'm going to replace this with either a TiAL or TurboXS RFL

that sucks.. how long did it last and how much boost?

i didn't take it off completely (like loosen the 3 allen bolt), but i compress the spring and it seems to be fine....even blows out air off the vacuum line.

I've had it for four years now. But it started taking a crap on me back in '01.

I like the HKS SSQV for low - mid boost applications but the TiAL is the best bov for mid - high boost IMO. Here are some pictures of my TiAL.

does it use the same flange as the hks bov?

Is your hks adjustable? If it is then you may have it adjusted to tight, which is for big boost. If it is too tight then it won't blow off if your boosting under 12psi. Just a thought. Sam thing happened to a friend of mine on his vortech bov.

get the RFL can't beat the price and is loud as all hell.
