you dont have a boost gauge right?
I know my car sounded weird almost like it was supercharged when I hit full boost it was like a whistle I noticed it after I did the IC pipe upgrades. I think it was caused by the Throttle body shaft seal leaking boost. I found out it is extremely common for the Evos to get that leak there after about 15k miles or so cause the rubber seals get hard and feel like brittle plastic so for the $20 I just put new ones in and the sound seemed to be gone.
Maybe you got leaky shaft seals like most Evos do?

yeah I dont have a boost gauge yet but im soon gonna get one, as for the sound, there is no whine or any sound like that, its just a flutter as soon as the turbo starts spooling.... Do you think a tb seal would go bad at only 3000miles on it??? Would it cause a flutter like that???? I havent driven the car in a while because of the crappy weather so I havent been able to check it again but a couple weeks back i did tighten the hoses and everything that connects to the bov, so maybe I fixed the problem not sure....... Guess I'll have to check in the next couple days and try to get the car back on the highway to check.

you really cant hear it in the car to well and the only reason i noticed it was when I was driving i had my windows down for a bit, then I went wot for a few seconds and i heard it. It would be way to hard to get sound clips. Do you think its possible that it could be coming from the adaptor I got from lacershop????
http://www.lancershop.com/customer/product.php?productid=876&cat=2&page=1 it came with a gasket with it, when I installed it I used the exsisting rounded gasket that was already on the maf tube and I used the suppplied gasket. If you look at my car you will see that the flat gasket doesnt fit flat. The kit didnt even come with teh bolts or anything, I had to find my own bolts to use, plus teh adaptor didnt line up with the holes that well. Im thinking maybe im sucking in air, i dont know thpugh because I have it really tight so I cant see it not being sealed. As for the sound emonz, it doesnt make absolutly no sound untill I boost and its just a long and fast flutter as long as im boosting almost like soemthing falpping really fast. But I havent driven my car since I tightend everything up either, so i might have already fixed it, i'd have to drive my car to find out, unfortunately the snow is being a PITA here and cant get my car out of thr garage, to deep and hard, i dont wanna screw up my bumper and chew it up. its suppose to get ine the 50's by wednsday so i might be able to get it out. I'll see if i can get pictures after work tomorrow to show you what im talking about.

hey Emonz I have been reading alot of stuff from evom and all the guys say that the hks ssq is a garbage bov,why???? They keep saying that stock is better, if stock leaks why is it better, then they go on and say to get forge...... I like asking you about tihs stuff because you'll give me a knowledgeable answer and I wont ask those guys because everyone there tells everyone to use the search key..

Well i forget, do you have a evo9 because those have good stock BOV's but the 8's have the crappy plastic bov which is junk. I dont know why they are saying the HKS is crap because its really one of the best you can get along with the tial, but those cant recirc.
