Is this normal? (noise around 5k)

Check your flamidation valve, it kinda sounds like that if it gets disconnected?

OH, and sir, I believe you're talking about the Knuetson Valve (http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=9)

yeah thats the blow off valve. LOL Question: Have you owned a turbo car before?

Yeah...this is my first/only car. I know what a BOV is..

Aren't you a little young to be going that fast?

I watched the vid twice, I didn't hear anything. What sort of noise is it? What mods do you have on the car now?
I might be! ;)
It wasn't that fast...lol

No! lol I know what the BOV is.
The noise I'm referring to is the "change in sound" i guess you could say that starts at 5k.
mods:
Apexi N1 3" turboback exhaust
K&N drop in filter
Greddy type S BOV (recirculated)
and the BSC restrictor has been removed
...That's about it.

You shift right at 5k... So maybe its the sound of you shifting? Who knows.. The video doesnt really tell us much.

No. I can hear the noise just fine, I think you just have to know what to listen to...but I suck at explaining noises. lol
I'm starting think from your guys' responses that this may be normal, and that's why you aren't hearing anything wrong.

The noise starts at 5k, yet you shift at 5k. How are we supposed to hear anything? Bring it up to 7. Maybe then we can hear what you're talking about.

I watched the video again, and the sound I am referring to starts at about 4.5k. (sorry)

Why did you change the bov?


I hear the noise, but am unsure on what it is. Sounds like a turbo almost, but like it's grinding on something.

it allmost sounded like a wastegate opening imo.

I changed the bov cause it was given to me for free (well, i drove my friend around and that was his way of repaying me). It's a good bov, and i like it..
I basically just wanted something different.
