Hello,

I own a 1.6 '93 with a bell III turbo and ecu. It runs great, but I get a
loud noise when I drive my car under little throttle.
On the highway in 5th gear it's always between 3.5 - 5.3K rpm, when I try to
keep the car at speed uphill the sound starts often.
When I release a bit throttle the sound stops and starts again a few moments
later, when the car is maintaining the speed again (or a bit slower). The
same thing when I accelerate a bit.
It sounds like blowing into (over) a empty bottle.It only occurs when I need
a little power.
I replaced the BOV (plastic) with another from a friend, still the sound.
I removed the BOV and ducktaped it so it couldn't work, the sound was gone.
I use the silicone hoses (red- orange color) that were in the kit.
I don't like them a lot: the quality is poor, bits are comming of.
I think the problem might come from the hose of the BOV - the size of the
bypass pipe is bigger than the BOV so the hose is not perfect sized, a bit
too large. I put ducktape on the bov to make the size bigger, but no
effect...
Any advice?
Laforce Stefan, Belgium.

If you're running the ecu, move your bypass valve to the throttle body
inlet, put a filter on it.

That's where mine is an always has been, and still the sound he describes
has remains...

I kinda like it though. I can invoke it at will to intimidate wayward
pedestrians.

My setup makes a barely audible little peep just as I transition from cruise
to decel. Sounds like baby chickens. Much too quiet to intimidate anyone,
but I've often wondered where it's coming from. Gives my car character...
