Induction kit and lexus lights - BINNED!!!!
Hi Guys.
As above now completed,just taken car for a spin with the original air box fitted. My question is now its running with the oem air filter the external BOV (Blitz type) is now quiet and does'nt WHOOOOSH as loud now
. You could hear the BOV when you lift off before you hit full boost and now you only hear it when you hit 7psi of above (max at 17psi)
I've checked all the pipe work and everything is fine. So all you tech heads out there is this normal! The car is pretty much standard (MY94 STi).
Cheers

Yes I noticed exactly the same with a 94WRX a few years back.
I also found it strange.
But recon you are best off with the standard filter as you are less likely to have MAF issues.

I dont run a VTA BOV or induction kit on my P1 but on my old 200sx I ran both and got the noises you are getting. I think its as you say........the BOV doesnt clear all the charge air so some gets pushed back out of the air filter. Mine used to do it mainly at lower revs when the dump valve wouldnt be quite open.
Congrats on the 100th post!
