Things that go "PPSSSSSSSSHHH" in the night

Stealth mode required....

Does anyone know of a high performance BOV that doesn't sound like a lorry putting on its brakes every time I lift off the throttle? (obviously it has to be suitable for my 3R)

I'd prefer a recirculating BOV but not sure how (or where) to plumb it into the intake loop. Anything quieter or with a different sound would be OK. The ones on Audi TTs sound quite sexy but not sure they are suitable.

How about the one that Veagan Tune sell.

My Faulks BOV is quiet, I can't hear it over the rush of air going into the intakes.

I moved my filters to the intercooler duct. I prefer the sound of the engine to the whooshing noises. Now it's just the BOV to replace, er, followed by a new noisy zorst

Pretty much any recirculating valve will be quieter than a blowoff. I had the HKS Racing Bypass Valve installed on mine.

Here's a picture of it, including how it's plumbed back into the intake:

Minor point for those that don't know...gotapex here is ONYX400 on Nobleforums.

Really Gabe...if I didn't know better I'd think you were trying to mess with peoples minds

Ta. I can't quite see where the recirculating valve is plumbed back into the intake from thiose pix but I'm sure it isn't a big job

In OnyxM400's 2nd picture, you can see the rubber hose going from the BOV to the intake pipe just below.

Hmm, doesn't that mean it can only stop one turbo from stalling? (The front one by the looks of it). Given that the recirc air will be warmer, wouldn't it be better to send it to the rear turbo (given the propensity for the front one to cook)?

Technically speaking, yes. Practically speaking, there's no difference between recirculating and free to air other than sound on a speed density system like our cars use.

Gabe...love the look of your red inlet manifold. How long before it's running and pushing the car?
