TIAL! For me its like once you go Tial, you never want to use anything else. Tial produces a loud crisp feathery sound. If you are the type of person that likes the ppppssss sound go for a greddy type s bov

too tight maybe? Not enough air is coming out of the outlet...or at least that's what it sounds like to me.

I got a narly fluttering at lower boost with my HKS SS BOV, and its annoying enough to make you want to sell your whole turbo kit. Wait a minute what did I just say?

My HKS SS BOV does the same at low boost but i dont find it anoying. I think that the fluttering is normal on the hks ss.

on the HKS SSQ bov the fluttering noise is normal. Yea it sounds wack at low boost. Makes like an un-crisp fluttering noise. But once you have some boost pressure, it makes a nice chirp/flutter noise.

I have a friend with an eclipse. He has the HKS SSQ...I really like the way it sounds. Are those vehicle specific or do they make a universal?
