I had loadsa problems with my BOV - Wasn't making any real noise - just either a strangled gasp or if taking out some washers, a slow pisssssssssshhhht! - has 2 crazy trumpets too!

Luckily, S13Eater brought me a lovely big 'T' piece to replace my crappy Halford's one (was smaller diameter) - It can now set car alarms off and cause rapid retreats of birds, cats, people etc... LOL! - Nice one Shaun!

If it gets too much, I can pop a blanking plate over one (unscrewable) trumpet, so can turn it into a fuzz-pleaser if need be, but it's the first BOV I've had where it actually works fine, and the diaphram etc haven't been mashed n' smashed by high boost pressures, so it gets my vote.... (Haven't got a piccie, but it's exactly the same as S13Eater's, only with one trumpet more than it reasonably needs! )
