Blow Off Valve

[premium]

Hi

I'm considering (and saving for) a turbo on my N/A VL Commodore RB30.
I'm a huge fan of the idea of 250+ HP, but I'd like to know if they make blow off valves that don't make that stupid noise.
Others might think it's cool, but I don't like the sound of a pigeon under the bonnet.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Premium.

Go to Repco they sell the quiet ones

Yeah, its called a plumb-back...

The pigeon noise is from running with no BOV...
The Pssshhhht noise is from a BOV...
A quality plumb back BOV shouldn't make much noise at all (and is legal)

Out of interest, are there different ones that make all different noises?
Noob question probly, but hey.. im a noob. lol

What your reffering to is called a dose/flutter caused from compressor surge. Its not a BOV.

BOVS make the gay chhhhhhh often found on them rice box jap cars. bovs can also make no noise.

Im pretty sure thats what the BOV's are for and yes there are silent ones around and they do serve a purpose
