Hi I have a 98 eclipse gst. I had a 1g bov on my stock upper intercooler pipe by way of an adapter. Anyway, I just got new uppercooler piping and am still using the 1g bov. now after I accelerate, and I let go of the gas pedal,I hear kinda like a fart. Is that the BOV? Why didn't I hear it before I had the new piping? Thanks. Tom

If the 1g bov is crushed too much it will make a turkey sound.
Much like a fart.

It will get louder and more annoying as you increase boost.

Its louder than a 2g bov, well I changed mine the same time as the upper intercooler pipes so they coulda done it too. Now mine does a little whistle (resonance sounding) anytime i am decelerating, NOT to be confused with the "blowing off!" I heard the same about all Road Race Enginering pipes though...

OP, are you venting the bov or recirc? Try the 1g bov quick release mod..it may get rid of the fart sound. Not sure though...one mans "Pssshhh" is another mans "Fffffarrrrrt". LOL
That's some funny sh*t!
