I have just purchsed a 94' Esprit and notice the nice sound of the blow off valve. Now
a week later i notice that i am not getting much of a sound from the blow off valve unless
shifting at high rpms (5,000-6,500).

Being new to this kind of performance upgrade, i dont know if i am freaking out or there is
something wrong.

any thoughts...?

Thanks, Nick

piston or diaphram

your diaphram could be split,,,are you getting full boost though?

fell off in my hand when i touched it! easy fix. thanks for responding!

Yo Nick,

Looks like you got an S4.that's awesome!

Where did you get it from?

As far as the BOV goes..you have to get the HKS SSQV BOV.it is by far the best one out there..
