Try a GFB hybrid atmo/plumb back

indeed, gfb hybrid can be set to full plumb-back, you can adjust the spring so it releases softly or hard so it makes the air cavitate on lift off (flutter)

even though its plumb-back won't mean its quiet though as if you're running increased boost and a pod filter it will echo back through the intake

SSQV with the plumb back fitting will do the job on a FMIC

Sorry if I hurt your feelings Emm.
I didn't realize you were asking a new question. I presumed you were commenting on the OP's 2 year old query.
As has been said, go GFB hybrid or the plumbed back SSQV.

i unscrewed the "loose" and "harden" twist top too much and the top popped off..
took the spring out of the bov, put the top back on it and connected again to the piping.. turned on the engine.. revved it..

dead quiet..

while its not sumthin i recommend u doing for long periods of time, ultimately it satisfied this guy that there was no noise, even when he drove it around the block.. u couldnt hear it..

car registered

How did this work, I thought the spring was to hold the bov shut under pressure, wouldn't this cause a louder boost leak under pressure.

spring removal = no boost & turbo overspeed.

I get one eyed with some things, I seem to think everyone has big setups, if I tried this dpi would laugh at me.

if anyone can confirm, itd be much appreciate

cheers

THIS, my guess is the inspectors are hearing a pod filter dose and blaming the aftermarket bov even if it's a plumbback..

Is it on the right way? Stupid question i know but he tried to fail me for that when i was yellowed but even my stock one was too loud all because it was on the wrong way
