i have a hks ssq, and a few weeks ago, i was in 4th gear and accelerated a bit, hit like 10psi and heared BOOM and had no throttle....came to a stop and the car stalled....found out that my bov blew off the UICP somehow and smacked the hood (and i made sure prior to that, that it was definitely seated and tightened)...anyway, i noticed tonight when i took my bov off, and move it from side to side, there is a small rattle in it...like if i move it to one side, it sounds like something is hitting something, and so on....my bov still works, but i noticed that when i'm boosting low, i have the same bov sound and not the different sound i had before. before when i boosted low and let off the throttle, it made a different sound than a high boost...could the second valve in this thing be bad? also, is it fixable? can you take these things apart and work on them?

thanks for the help

What you described would be my guess as well...I know I've seen a site somewhere, where they took one apart...lemme do some searching.

pretty sure you cant take them apart. all that comes off is the cover

thanks...it'd be great if you found the website cause i've searched all over

sounds like a spring came out of place or somthing is wrong with the diafram....

ok i took the bov back off to take a closer look....the clicking i was explaing was the little valve you can see when you look up through the bottom of the bov...the rod is purple and on it, is a little black thing that moves back and forth making the click sound....is this normal?

HMMM.... BOV blows off and smacks the hood... might be time for a GReddy type-s...
