Vortech is 98% complete! Questions about some random odds and ends.
1. My bypass valve is making some strange sound at certain RPM. It sounds almost like squealing brakes. What is the cause of it? How can I fix it?
2. On the stock intake, there is a hose that connects to it. I think its for the EGR or something. Where does it go to now? Should I put a filter on it or something?
you are supposed to extend that hose to the side of the filter on the blower. that sound is normal out of the BPV. you can add a filter from vortech that cuts down on it a lot.
1- to get rid of sound try showing 6-7 threads on the BPV, or increase your idle to 1k rpm
2- that is your breather hose for your driver side crank case. it is suppose to be hooked up to the air filter. if your not going to do this you need to put a small filter on it.
After driving around today, I noticed that when cruising in first or second, it sounds like a lot of air is coming out of the bpv. Does that mean my bpv is too loose? I'm only showing 6 threads by the way.
