Yes you can either put some washers in there or buy the pink spring. Having a read at some of these posts with the flutter then wossh sound. It seems to me they are put on the wrong way around. The above pic of the fg is put on wrong. Replace the trumpet onto the other side and the vented port where the trumpet was. Then install it with the trumpet facing outwards. You will then notice no more flutter and woosh sound following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadey82 Member 3 Member For: 12y 5m 25d Posted 29/11/11 09:38 PM Share Posted 29/11/11 09:38 PM Hi, I recently installed a Kompact Dual Port on a 2003 XR6 Turbo. On idle the piston was staying 3-4 mm open on the hardest setting, so I inserted 3 shims supplied with the BOV. It’s an automatic and on the hardest setting releasing the accelerator around 2000rpm it releases making a quiet tu-tu-tuuu sound. Not a whoosh. Is this the correct sound it should make? Also what rev range should it make noise at? 3000 rpm and higher it makes the same sound and is much louder. The vacuum line is not hose clamped, and I cut the factory vacuum line in half as it was way too long to mount comfortable.Any help is appreciated as I am inexperienced with BOV’s and cannot find consistent info elsewhere.Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
