Is this normal? (noise around 4.5k) - 93 talon tsi
 

Okay, so recently I noticed that my car (93 talon tsi) makes a weird noise at about 5k. I'm not sure what could have caused it (if it isn't normal)..
I did recently get a new BOV which was uncirculated for a little bit, and I figured maybe after I recirculate it, it would go away. It is now recirculated and it's still there..

So I guess what I am wondering is, is this noise around 4.5k normal, or is there something wrong?

In this video it's very noticeable in 2nd and 3rd gear.

Thanks.

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?

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

BOV every time you shift at 5k rpm...

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

yeah... i hear a bov when u shift...

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

Don't hear anything wrong.

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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

Is he seriously talking about the BOV? lol

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

You might need one of these. Click


Also, have you prepared your car for the spring/summer time? if not, click here

OH, and sir, I believe you're talking about the Knuetson Valve

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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

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.

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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.

ur overheating son

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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.

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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.

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

it allmost sounded like a wastegate opening imo.

Re: Is this normal? (noise around 5k)
 

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.
