help! Blitz bov problem
ok I installed my blitz bov in my 04 wrx, but the problem is when I drive I can barley hear the bov. It sounds muffled I bought the bov used, It doesn't seem to leak boost, but i'm just irritated cause I can't hear the bov, unless I drive it really hard. then it's a quick psh not even a pshhhhh. Please Blitz bov owners help a fellow suby owner. thanks

i bought the blitz bov for my 04 new. after a while it was having the problems u seem to be having. it needs to be cleaned. just undo the top 4 screws and the top pops off. get a rag with a lil bit of cleaner and clear it out. mine works like new again

ok so I bought some wd40 and sprayed inside my bov and used that to clean the inside. I dunno my bov is still pretty quite though. 
Like it won't go off until 5k rpm. and when it goes off it's hardly noticable...Annoyed

oh yeah and for those of you who plan on opening up your blitz bov, be careful, cause the top will pop...Since there is a long spring inside that just wants to pop out.

DO NOT USE WD-40!!!! Please, take it apart and start over with a lightweight oil, even no oil at all is better than WD-40. WD-40 is not an oil, it's a grease that doesn't provide adequate protection for anything, all it's good for is repelling water. The WD stands for Water Displacer. Easiest thing to do is use a little (and I mean a little) of motor oil when re-assembling the BOV. The WD-40 will cause it to gum up and pick up every little thing in the air.
