Toms Supra Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Right I have already done a search but cant find anything that really answers my question. Just fitted a HKS SSQ BOV but find it quite quiet, is this normal as the standard one made a nice tishhhhhh where as this one makes a quick and tight sounding tish. Can you adjust it or not? Or is that how its supposed to be. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Had one of these on my MR2, Nice sounding BOV but not that loud, its twin chambered so at low boost you get a more toned down woosh and then at higher boost you get the sharp piercing sound.

hadyn Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 on 0.8 bar you cant hear mine above the radio, but turn off the radio and it makes lots of nice noises seems to make a much larger and longer pssssssssscht at lower boost and makes a more shorter sharper noise on higher boost when you come off the throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 if you want noise stick the quality SSQV on here for sale and buy a dog shit leaky cheap one, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I had an HKS one on my Evo 5 and it was exactly the same, quite loud at low revs, but just a sharp tsshh at higher evs / boost. A bit pifless to be honest lol Loudest one i have ever had was a Turbo Smart one that had already been fitted to ny evo 6 when i got that........by christ it was LOUD !!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 More boost = more noise. You can adjust the scrwe to drag out the noise a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 i ve heard that the HKS SSQV is one of the loudest BOV's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I am very disappointed with the sound of the SSQV, it is fairly quiet and seems very high pitched compared to the Blitz I had before. However many people have said its better quality and better at holding boost, which is the only reason I have kept it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yeah if your really gentle it will make a flutter noise, but high revs etc, it whistles. Now I have driven the car again today Im happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 agree with BOBBEH. More Boost = More noise!! Mine was gay when i was boosting 0.7bar. At 1.1bar it sounds good! Still not the loudest of BOV's though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
