I have a harder time squeezing those damn stock clamps when I want to make adjustments. I've got a few cuts on my hands during the install.

You used your hands for that? Who are you, Chuck Norris?! Use pliers man!

Yea I did. I don't recommend it to anyone.

I reviewed it in one of the Stillen threads.
 
Ehhh, so I decided to trim my BOV hoses to shorten them and straighten out the bends a bit more (~1" on both hoses), but now I have a pronounced police-siren pitch wind-up sound that I think was caused by the unfortunate comedy of errors with just the right (wrong?) length of driver's side BOV hose. Now, on a cold start, it literally sounds like a low-volume police siren, and even when I drive, it is always audible. It's also kind of funny since there's basically a police siren wind up as air draws in and the RPMs go up before the turbo whooshing noises take over :rofl:

TL;DR - If you trim your BOV hoses to try and straighten out the bends a bit, the right/wrong length on the driver's side ends up creating a police-siren pitched sound. I would bet I couldn't even make it happen again even if I wanted to, lol :whistle:

A little late for me to suggest to you but others might want to try switching the hoses around before trimming.

I had a kink in one of the hoses when installing my Stillen and I got rid of it by switching the ends around.

Nah, it's just a whole inch closer is all. Even if you flip it around, all you're doing is essentially rotating the bends the other way. The length of the hose and the distance between the fittings doesn't change. If you switched the ends, you probably just couldn't see the kink anymore, lol
 
I trimmed mine a little less than an inch and then flipped it around... no kink works fine

Well, great... I decided to open the hood in the morning and get a closer bead on that siren sound, and it's coming from the driver's side turbo. I decided to look this up and found that turbos that are failing will make a "police siren" sound.

Well FUUUUU---- let's see what the dealership is going to say. We all know an intake isn't going to damage a turbo, but the service manager (who was a cool, ACTUAL older car guy who used to work on classic cars) I liked for his old-fashioned car grit no longer works there and I have no idea what or who I'm up against. If it's some youngster, I might just be better gluing a dildo to my driver's seat.

Put the stock boxes back in. No sense gambling with a potential idiot behind the counter.

What I'm worried about there is that the stock boxes will muffle the police siren sound too much for them to do anything about it, and I'm stuck WAITING until it blows... *sigh*

I see your delima. Maybe the box won't completely muffle it. Do you know which turbo it's coming from? Maybe worth your time to put just that side back on and see if you can still hear it.

I did already put the stock boxes back in (though, since I trimmed and swapped hoses, it's actually pretty easy to tell I've done work there, so I'm STILL worried they're just going to find every excuse not to touch it), and the sound is still audible. Funnily enough, it IS quieter with the stock boxes, but it can still be heard enough to actually have video evidence. Boy, it was so much more audible with the intake system, though...

EDIT: Whoops, brain fart, meant intake system, not exhaust system :D

hello did you ever write up that idol stop and go fix? I’ve been looking at this website and cannot find it.. my idol stop and go stop working the day that I installed the typhoon intake. I do see your other replies on here, I am also using the small fitting and my hose is also a bit stretched out so it’s loose and the clamp doesn’t tighten it enough, is this the reason why my idol stop and go does not work? I appreciate any help of yours.
