| I have a 97 manual vvti with fmic, loud exhaust, bov and pod. My BOV is really quite loud, why is this? Is it just the brand, its a turbosmart My bov on the stock auto vvti is barely heard |

| thats because your stock BOV is plumbed back internally into the intake manifold so makes next to noise where the turbo smart one vents to the atmosphere. you'll probably find you'll get defected for it if mr police men hear it. |

| Sorry for my bad engrish. What I meant is the manual with turbosmart BOV and exhaust, fmic, pod is super loud AND my auto fully stock except HKS BOV is barely heard. It cant be those small mods making the manual so loud can it? Had a close look at the turbosmart BOV and it had a Hard and soft setting. Twisting it to soft made a barely distinguishable difference. |

| Maybe the BOV is hardly opening on your other car or not even opening at all? |

| Having a pod filter and intake pipe has been known to make the bov sound louder in most cases. However, those turbosmart veeport bovs are fairly loud anyways, I would be getting rid of it asap. |

| Maybe pod filter will make turbo flutter sound louder, but I don't see how it can make a Blow off valve sound louder. |

| does upping the boost also increase bov sound? more boost = more pressure to expell? |
