I'm not sure if the sound is coming from the BOV of the compressor wheel because it is so quick.... does anyone else have a tial BOV? Does yours make a gay whistle or squeel?

While on this subject... I have a quick question. Is there anything you can clean your turbo with? For example the gas in the intercooler. Can you clean your turbo? And a little off this subject but, what size air breather do I need for my Valve cover (the hose that leads to the intake)???

Um what ever goes over the little nipple on the valve cover. It does not have to be anything specific. Also you might want a catch can instead of leading it to the intake because that will just make your turbo dirty.

You can clean your turbo with carb cleaner and gas i think.
