    A BOV/hiccup question

    I've got a Blitz Super Sound atmospheric BOV. I have been having problems with a hesitation or hiccup under medium boost (~3-5psi) while going up an incline, usually freeway driving. It does this on flat ground under load most of the time also. I was doing some searching and saw that this...

    front suspension creaking + right turn lock metal on metal sound?

    when i come to a quick stop and ease off the brake pedal almost as it's about to rebound, i get a creak similar to the sound of the pads rubbing on the rotors on automatic cars when the brake is applied and the car lurches forward. i can feel a little bit of something going on in my steering...
