NB SP BOV does it vent and flutter

Postby roshmx5 » Thu Feb 23, 2017 7:16 pm

Hi the former owner had a Porsche BOV on my SP and you can hear it venting and fluttering when backing off. It is a no venting to atmosphere valve. It did this from day one. I did the T piece mod and it still vents and flutters. So I was thinking is this normal on the SP. so I installed the factory BOV which I had and you can still hear it venting and fluttering when backing off, but isn't as loud. Can an SP owner advise if it is standard for the factory blow off valve to have noise.
