hi erik, heres how to increase the noise

1) air filter and full exhaust- blitz filter is good, any full 3" exhaust is fine

2)front mount intercooler and some boost

youll be suprised how loud the HKS bov can get, the more boost/airflow, the louder and more "sequential" it will get. Mine doesnt really whistle anymore but has a loud sequential sound to it

i don't think the fact that whether if it's new or not will affect how loud it is, if it's the exact same model BOV you're comparing....unless your 2nd-hand SSQV is stuffed....faulty spring etc etc....

also depends how much boost you run, and if you have a FMIC(which i have btw)...dunno how much difference will it make in regards to the mounting position though, mine's mounted where the stock one use to be....

if you want just the loudest ones around, get the BLITZ DD...it can get really loud....as well as the higher end GFB ones....

dun know why it's so expensive here....i bought it in singapore for $340aud....i can imagine it would be even cheaper in m'sia:D

oh...just a note, the spring in the SSQV,unlike other brand BOVs doesn't alter the pressure of the smaller valve, it only alters the pressure of the bigger valve within.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
