Ok I got a Hks Limited Edition Bov, I installed it the right way really not to hard to mess that up. But my question is that I only really hear it whistle when I first start driving my truck then it goes away. I have an RPM intake and that is loud as hell, But I dont think that will interfer with the bov noise and ideas???:tup::tup:

I got a regular HKS SSQV (not a knock-off) and mine only whistles when I get on it and let up on it...it actually screams, it is so loud. :tup:

You have to be careful of what side of the check valves you are drawing vacuum from. I have the HKS SSQV, and I hooked it up wrong the first time. I cannot recall where I ended up hooking it up but make sure there isn't any check valves in the line that you are using.

Ok as per sport machine I tapped into the vac ball line and I put the line filter the same way hks showed in the instructions

You need a line that has pressure not just vac. If you have a boost gauge tee off of that. I would not the line for the fuel pressure or map. If you dont have a boost gauge you can buy a few dollars worth of brass fittings from the hardware store and build a tee off the brake booster side of the upper.
