Hi all, I'm running a '22 Tremor with the Livernois 91-93 tune, S&N filter box, and AFE charge pipes.
Yesterday I was on my way home and punched it to get out on the highway... I heard what at first sounded like tires spinning on damp pavement, but is a whooshing noise under boost. I can accelerate ok if I drive like grandma, and run at speed just fine - but if I get into it at all, I hear a whoosh from the passenger side engine compartment and I don't get the expected surge of power. The dealer heard it and booked me for an appointment next week, but I don't seem to be able to find any issues of bad BOVs on the forums. In other forums, I saw references to people taking apart the BOVs and cleaning them on a regular basis. Even Turbosmart has an article on their site on how to do this and how it should be done regularly.
I don't want/need a Turbosmart for 2.5 times the price of OEM (nor want additional sounds coming from the engine bay).
Thoughts? Anyone experience this?
