okay this guy at work comes up and says he bought a mopar BOV for his srt-4, but now he only boost 10psi instead of 17psi, thats what he was hitting befor BOV. I told him when i installed mine on my STI i didnt lose any boost. he also said he can hear a loud hissss noise now i told him somehting is wrong, what do u all think?


also is the srt-4 eng from dodge or is it like many others and a product of japan?

 

Check his bolt tq & vaccum lines

 

I hope the loud hiss noise is only when he shifts

 

check the torque on the bolts (leaky gasket) or the vacuum line on the turbo. either one could be leaking boost if they are not re-installed properly.

 

thats what i told he said no way he installed it right, i laughed. he said ill get a boost controller and turn it back to 17psi, so who makes the eng in the srt-4?

 

dodge makes the engine in the srt.

he has a boost leak. tell him to check if the bov is installed backwards, it happens a lot.

 

thank u all for the help going to print this out and see if he wants to take my advise.

 

No Prob, MIKE
PEACE

 

or if he didnt even install the gasket.

 

along those lines....I bought a used mopar bov and it has no instructions.

I'm following these that I found last week while looking on the various forums:

but they dont say what to do with the factory internal baffle. I'm assuming it goes in the desk drawer or something for storage right??
