Hi Guys, just installed a HKS SSQV 3 on my 2006 STi today. Just wondering if any of you out there having the same problem as me. I am not getting the trademark chirping sound when the air is being dumped but getting a rather normal sounding psssshhhh instead. Checked all the vac lines and all seem fine. Could it be a crack in the turbo perhaps ? My car hasnt been boosting properly neither since upgrading my exhaust to a 3inch turbo back system (could be me though also was boosting fine when i had standard 2.5inch exhaust on). Defi gauge reading 1.0kpa foot flat on accelerator. Normal ?

My classic let's off a psshhh on low throttle then give the chirp on full throttle. Suggests to me there is a boost leak or you're boost isnt high enough to get the chirp.

Hi farlz, do you know what the normal boost is suppose to be on a DEfi gauge ? Its reading like 0.8kpa while idling and full throttle its hitting 1.0kpa. Not getting no chirp whatsoever just pssssshhhh low or full throttle. Wondering if i bought a fake SSQV now

Your boost level is fine by the readings you give mate as your hitting a bar of boost.
Is the valve adjustable or not?

its the newer ssqv version 3 which i dont think has that adjustable valve that your on about . you know on your bov is the middle trianglely bit purple or red mate ? Seen some which are purple which is why i am starting to think that i bought a fake hks ssqv.

you can buy different fins for the ssqv....
where did u buy it tho? HKS say its now pretty much impossible to distinguish genuines from the fakes now unfortunately and that the only way to be sure you have the real deal is to buy one from the approved stockists listed on their site. Iv been tempted to buy one myself from ebay, forums etc....but you gotta wonder why a BOV which costs nearly £300 are being sold for less than £100 on the net....

Ive tried the purple fin and the original silver fin. Sound the same. Bought it from this guy somewhere in lativa on ebay for 150 quid ???. so yeah ... starting to think ive been bent over and spanked.

but then again i have seen a few videos on youtube with the ssqv v3 not chirping on some cars. seems kinda suss .

i bought one a while back off here seems the real deal its got the chirp and that! you could try putting the part number in google and see if it comes up as genuine part and check against a respectable seller to see if the part numbers are the same, thats the first thing i did when i recieved mine, hope this helps!!

ScoobyYau

Hi Rob, trust ive given it some beans this evening m8 lol but still not chirping at all thats why im here trying to see if you guys have experienced this same problem.

ScoobyYau

i have circled what appears to be different on my hks bov. The circled bit on my one is RED rather that PURPLE ?? So.... is this one a fake or is it that i have the fake bov ?

I read somwhere they have 2 valves one to release low pressure and one high perhaps one is stuck??
This one has a red centre

Hate to say it but there are so many fake ones on ebay. If it cost 150, but RRP is 300....................
