does the 1st gen. hks Bov give off the high pitch sound as the new gen or is it just like a whooshing sound like the BLitz?

no idea. the sound of a BOV really should not be your main concern anyway. besides, if you still have a MAF, then you should recirculate. but thats just my 2cents.

i have the older hks bov, the one that has two ports that need a vacuum source in order to work properly. it has a whoosh sound, not the high pitched squeel

The 2nd gen will make a woosh if you take the stupid insert out.

They all do to some extent from what I've heard.

Just take the factory one out.

There is no need to buy others.
