Raptor BOV install?
So I just had my TN kit installed last week. I've noticed that I don't hear ANY blow off sound at all! It seems like there may be a line that isn't hooked up.... Looks like there an open hole with threading.... Look at the pics I added. Is there a line missing??? Any help would be appreciated

I mean you could have a vacuum leak I guess, which means you wouldnt be making much boost to the intake manifold. That line should be running to the intake manifold. Did the shop you got it done at get to look at it, or did they say anything about the blow off valve?

Your BOV looks fine, Your car is not making enough boost to sound like a evo/sti's when your releasing the gas. My car runs strong and I can barely hear the BOV when I release the gas, unless you shift hard while on boost then you'll hear it.

Yeah, unlike some OEM turbo cars with small turbos, you wont be able to hear it just revving it. If you're at full boost you might hear it and you might not depending on some factors. I know that mine sounded a bit louder with my vented hood and the BoV being right there. Now that my Godzilla BoV is located by the front opening of the bumper it's really loud.
I'd really have to see/hear the car to tell you if its normal or not.
As far as the fluttering sound you describe, I'm not sure what that is. I'd have to hear it.
I'm in the Riverview/Brandon area so on the other side of town. Maybe I'll check out the car sometime.

Taurran, with the boost your making now, you dont need to have a vented hood to hear that
The fluttering sound his getting is more likely due to overly loosen spring rate inside the BOV.... you can see it from the pics that shiet is like almost falling.

Chris, adjust the screw on top of the BOV and screw it clock wise to tighten the spring rate to get rid of the fluttering sound. It should be around half the treaded your showing now on the first couple of pics. G/L

Chris play with the adjustment on the BOV and that should do it. The Raptor is a universal part so it's not preset for any application. Also check where you have the line going to the intake manifold and on the BOV the TOP PORT is all you use and the bottom port leave it open.
