chris n. Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I have a 95 Japspec TT 6 speed. Now this may have been happening all the time but it is someting I have only just "noticed". If I "feather" the go pedal I can hear a distinct and constant "wooshing" noise which disappears when I floor the pedal. Is this to do with turbo wastegates? Car is running ok and sorry if this question is a time waster. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Have you got an aftermarket induction kit or BOV fitted.. they're likely to be the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris n. Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Thanks for mega quick reply Bobbeh...Yes I have a Blitz BOV and Apex induction kit. Just seems to me that the air that is giving the "woosh" should be helping to "boost" the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ayling Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 If you have one of the early Blitz SSBOV's, they've been known to fail and dump air under acceleration, rather than after it. Have a look at the BOV with the engine running, then hold the engine at fairly high revs and see whether the valve is opening - if it is, it shouldn't be! Worth mentioning that a combination of intake/BOV can cause constant whooshing/sucking/blowing noises anyway though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah andys Rex sounds like its alive when hes driving about, and hes on stock BOV's. My HKSSQ seems ok, I guess if the nut is set incorrectly it can cause issues, fortunately none for me so far. No worries Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makem_neil Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 My scoob did this-its the BOV-mine did it cos it was the forge DV with the light spring. Gets annoying on motorway! Took it off cos some people started comenting on messing up the air/fuel ratios etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
