This may sound like a stupid question for you guys but i want to know. You know when you have a blow off valve the car accelerates then sounds like its sneazing like a cheeww. But on other cars, for example with my car, it accelrates you can hear the air intake then the release sounds different. Kind of like do do do do do(i know its sounds stupid but i couldnt explain it any other way). I think i heard something(unsure what) was in reverse.

I really struggled to explain this question.

Thanks guys

thats just compressor surge mate :cool:. there is pressure in the intercooler system that was not vented to atmosphere or back into the intake and that ends up going through the compressor wheel and the air gets 'chopped'. this is the noise you can hear, some people call it 'pidgeon noise' - the way to cure it is to fit an uprated re-circulating valve from forge or someone like that.
