Snow is almost gone now and I had my first test run with the blow off adapter today. Short video here;

More like the blow-off sound from the Recirculating Valve together with the Forge Induction Kit.
I had the same sound as in the video when I only had the Induction kit together with the standard valve.
Now with the Recirculation Valve together with the Induction, the sound is much louder and shorter!Not psssssssssst but TFFFDS3 THP Sport Chic Blanc Banquise / Noir Onyx - Forge Pipe Kit - Forge Induction Kit - Forge Recirculating Valve - Custom Intercooler - H&R 25mmComment

Reason I bought the adapter was cause I didn't want to make major modifications to the engine and possibly voiding the warranty.
A video of your setup would be nice if you find the time for it :-)2012 DS3 Racing black & orangeComment

Hi Fabian, i had installed the Recirculation Valve ytd but now there is totally no sound at all..even the stock soft whistle the standard valve made wasOriginally posted by Fabian View Post
gone..i'm wondering if the installation was done incorrectly or do i really have to install the induction kit to have the sound again...anyone here have
the same experience as me? Just replacing the recirculation valve but using stock filter?Comment

The stock filter and housing assembly will tend to muffle the sound of the valve http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/con...oduct=FMDVDS3R even the description has it as being "quite in operation". An incorrect installation would throw up error codes. If you are after the noise why didn't you get the externally vented blow off version http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/con...oduct=FMDVDS3A.Originally posted by cyclone
It is in the handbook. Satisfied.

HI Cyclone, Thanks for your reply. So it is normal. Cool.. i watched many youtube videos and also sat in 1 of my friend's DS3 which had the recirculation valve..it makes a deep woosh sound (which i love very much) as compared to the plishhh sound for the externally blow off valve. Just dont understand why my didnt have that woosh sound. But my friend's DS3 had a intercooler mod and exhaust mod so perhaps that's why its much louder..Comment
