Default HkS BLow off valve ssqv not making any noise at all

I got most of my turbo setup now done and just got my exhaust installed. When i rev up my car the BOV is letting the air out but no noise whatsoever . I know these have 2 valves inside and it should whistle at low boost and at high boost but im getting no sound at all . What could be the problem , this thing is brand new

This is an authentic , has marking on it , had sticker with it and hks instructions and box. I haven't had the car on the road , just sitting in parking lot and revving . It seems to be working ok , when i leave off the throttle air def comes out , just no whistle .

maybe your just not revving it high enough?? mine usually doesn't make that "whistle" noise until i go over 4k rpms. anything below that, it will just flutter

what size turbo? if you are free revving it with a large turbo chances are you arent building any boost, you need to have load on the engine...

exactly. we're not talkin dsm's or wrx's here. you need a load on the engine. you have to actually build some boost in order to blow off, unless your using a really small turbo.

your not gonna blow off at idle with a sc61. go take it for a drive and build 8 lbs and let off and tell us what happens.

Yeah well the reason i thought it was weird is that it has the 2 valves , the one is for real low boost . And my friend has a t25 turbo on a sohc and a greddy bov and when he just revvs at idle that things woosh's real loud and quick , im just kinda disappointed . I'm not quite ready to go up the road , i still need a laptop to tune me ems and put in my 750's

Well i just wanted to make sure this thing wasn't faulty is all . I can deal with it not making noise but being as i have not been able to drive it yet it was rather disappointing to not hear anything on the initial fire up . well thanks for the info and light flaming.

Just wait until you go for a drive. You will not be disappointed... HKS makes a great product.
