Tried blocking off the tube to the boost controller and it didnt achive anything bar making the gage or controller stop moving.

I'm starting to think it's not the ssqv that's the problem but something else as I put the standard bov back on again without the resirc pipe and it still sounded limp.

Think I jumped the gun on the fuel thing as the light still hasn't came on. As for the hks being a fake it does look pretty old hence bolts being not as chrome but it came with the car so not that bothered. Also I took it apart so could explain the fin not sitting right. Going to try n put my mates ...

Not tried closing off that T section yet but something new to report - Only got about 50miles to 20 quid optimax. Usually get between 80 - 100. Dunno if it's related to the ssqv sounding rank or not

Ah good thnking. There's a gready boost controller set up in the cabn.I can try taking that t bit off and making it a solid pipe but will it not effect the boost?

I wondered that myself. Last rev3 never had that pipe but this is a rev4 engine so wasn't sure. It goes off and thru the hole in the bulk head down behind the induction kit.

Don't think there is a vac leak as I took the small pipe of the ssqv and the engine note changed a lot and and there was plenty suction. Any other ideas? Lol

Its a genuine HKS one. All the vacume hoses look fine but Heres is some pictres I took today http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/79/picture185a.jpg http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/6121/picture186i.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1084/picture187s.jpg And heres a quick video http://tinypic.co...

Well it used to be proper loud, even on really low boost when you just put your foot down for a bit then lifted off.

I'll get a photo up of the engine bay tomorrow. It sounds so crap now compared to what it used to. Hope the hks isnt bu88ered.

Cheers

Good shout. I've just left the hks on for the moment. I'll get a picture of the set up up tomorrow.

When I did put the standard bov on I left the re surc pipe off letting it vent into the engine bay and it still sounded feeble.

Bump. Still not sounding great. Obviously it's one problem thats not gona fix itself

Right well i took what I could apart and everything seems to move as it should. Also i tried putting the standard BOV back on and it still doesnt sound as loud as it shoud. Im completely stumped. Whats my next port of call? Like i said it still seems to boost ok just the blow off isnt as loud (used ...

It seems like it's done a good job. I got 4 1litre bottles from Toyota for about 20quid

The stuff in my box previous was well past it tho so anything would seem like an improvement! Gear changes are nice and smooth however

Mine looks like a newer one to that and don't think it has any adjustment screws. Will try take it apart n see what's what. Failing that the standard bov will have to go back on.

This is my one I think

Tried to look again but rain is a bit of a problem. All pipes are def on there tight however

Hello chaps, Tried to find something through the search that could shed some light but not had much luck. Basically the HKS SSQV on my Rev 3 turbo has went from making a strong healthym Ptsssshhhhhhh to a really dull pwffffft. And when you give it the beans it hardly makes any noise at all. Checked ...

I got a horrible droaning noise coming from the front. Possibly the wheel bearing?? Sounds like quite loud road noise.

Whats the typical price for one of these from say pentland or euro car parts?

Prices vary on ebay

Just wondering if any of you have purchased these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-89-99-FRONT-REAR-Suspension-Drop-Links-x-4-/350390407911?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5194e552e7 I got a similar knocking althought only really knocks over speedbumps. most dips in the road etc a...

Its in the box now so will wait a few hundred miles n see if i think its made much difference
