[4NTM4N]

hey as stated i got an 33 gtst, its got hks sequential bov an hks mushroom filter..

it sucks quite loudly even when not accelerating much...as in just feel the car picking up speed an then take foot off an bov will sound...

not really what i want is it abnormal or just the way it is?

ide like to tone it down a bit so only can hear it at say 3000rpm

any suggestions would be sweet cheers

The only way to really tone it down is to replace the factory airbox and put in a performance panel filter. Many guys are running this setup and are very happy with the results.

The factory airbox will dampen the induction noise unlike the open filter that you are currently using.

ok so is there any other options apart from changin it to stock?

[and3_3]

other than getting a new turbo not really.

get a standard bov too if u want.

If the noise is coming from the pod - then well no, there is no fix. Its not like you can feasibly block the pod sound until 3000rpm and magically let it appear after that.

[Silvia GTR]

I don't understand why you want to limit the sound? I thought most kids would be stoked!

There are more newb's on here worying about their cars "sucking" or "dosing" or "chuchuchu'ing" then I have ever seen.

LOL, chuchuchu'ing. sounds like a steam train.

If you do have a pod connected maybe sheild it off with a pod air box. I found when I did that to mine the sound dampened a little bit too.

[4NTM4N]

nuff with the hating...isnt the whole point of these forums to figure things out???

thanks for the sugestions tho

[Scadtional]

Yeah mate, nothing is wrong, its just how pods are.

Enclosures don't change it much at all.

if your that worried about the noise , revert to the stock airbox with a high flow filter panel , disguard the bov . who wants to be driving a noisy car at the end of the day ? cheers

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i lost a bit of the noise when i put in a cold air box with CAI

High mount T04Z will fix your problem.

Well it will...

The man has a point

[G0DZLR]

hahaha. to fix the dose/bov noise, could try a plumbback BOV? plumbs air back into the intake....

[Benzino33]

yeah gonna hav to replace my POd anyway, i just put in a fmic yesterday so im defective at the moment,, the intercooler makes a nice flutter tho ,, got a standard bov as well

[ECR-033]

i had the same problem, loved the sound of the pod filter to start with but after a couple weeks it got irritating. I changed it back to the factory air box but the snorkel wont fit over the intercooler pipe (still tyring to find a simple way around this)

love the sound of no pod though, can hear the turbo spinning which is much better than the sucking from the pod.

i noticed a big difference when i chucked in my FMIC and pod....the induction noise was definitely louder...now i have found its pretty simple..when accelerating dont hit any vacuum lol as i have blocked off my stock BOV it would flutter even with the slightest of vacuum....apart from putting the stock airbox back in there is nothing you would be able to do rather then with your right foot to stop the induction noise
