Jetpilot Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 i realy dont like things too loud... When i bought my v3 the noise was ridiculous, just put a decent size filter on the bov, works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexdax Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 i was thinking in upgrading to a TIAL BOV and what about the V7 working noise? too loud? like the V3 or much more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) All bov's will all be loud unless you quieten the air realising. I am afraid i have never heard a v7 but have to be honest, i didnt think the v3 "working noise" was loud at all, it was just the blow off valve making all the racket until i quietened it up with the filter. I would say its got to be worth a £30 on a filter and silicon elbow for positioning before investing in a new charger, which i wouldnt presume will be any quieter.

wizard Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Vortech is too damn loud. Why not consider a V2 Ti spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I thought the V3 was actually pretty reasonable sound wise. I feel it's more the exhaust that is loud. Actually, I'm running my V3 with a Vortech filter at the end of the piping so it may be quieter because of that. Since I've been running it from the beginning it seems standard to me, but from other threads I've read, it is not standard as it does not come with the kit. I wish I knew the part number, but it's a small filter that is attached where the air is released when not in boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 ^^ Same as i said above, just buy a decent size k&n filter with the right inlet and you will be pleased as punch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Filter on the BOV makes zero difference to noise reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Mine was night and day difference, from whooshing and hissing all over the place to near silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which filter are you using? I put on the K&N 62-1480 on and it's made no discernible difference. I actually want it silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Oh no, nothing like that, i cant remember exactly which model (sorry dont have the car any more) but i went for the biggest i could get, something more like https://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=rb-0620 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
