Default Everyone with TurboXS RFL.

Does your bov usually squeek whenever your at 5vac or below? Closer to boost mine used to make a squeek noise. Then just stopped? I was like wtf. So I oiled it and it doesnt do it anymore. Just confused on why it always squeeked then stopped? I know my friends squeeks... Any ideas?

Ok so I wrote up TurboXS and asked them about this. And they replied with this.

Kendall,



You make just need to clean out your valve. We like to use a polish like Mothers Aluminum Polish to clean up the piston. Your motors compression is lower than it used to be.



Thanks,
