But what about the pretty sound it makes? How are you going to here it?
I've got an HKS SSQV. I hated the noise. Way too much attention, every time starting off from a light. People thought that I was trying to race or something even if shifting at 2500 RPM. (Much louder when I was putting the boots to it, of course, but if all you heard was at lower throttle, then that's what you heard.)
I was very happy that the recirculation fitting got rid of the noise, enough so that I used the fitting for months before I got the recirculation actually plumbed in to the intake. I'd much rather that people think that I'm trying to race when they see that my tail lights are a lot further off than they expected them to be, and not from a noise that makes it seem like some rice-boy who thinks that his 90 BHP grocery-getter is a race car because it's noisy.
I guess that means that my recirculated fitting is filtered, but I don't think that the SSQV is supposed to be open at idle. (Shouldn't make a difference anyway, considering that the ISCV takes its air from before the turbo anyway, and the throttle body is closed at idle. If anything even the idling turbo would be pushing air out of the valve.
