    I was coming home from work tonight and realized that tonight my car sounds kinda cool but something could be wrong though. My turbo seems to spool alot louder than usual about 3k RPM. All this time the turbo was spooling this loud. Sounds like an Intake with spooling noise. Its not very very loud but its louder then normal that I REALLY notice the difference. When my car is idling for stopped I can hear almost like a clicking from under the dash. Pop the hood and its not from the Engine anywhere. So i have no idea but For sure one of my screws for the BOV is alwais loose a bit but I've been driving like that for months now. Any idea of whats going on? Why its spooling louder?(performance is still the same)

    I brought my car to Tires Plus for a tire rotation and they do the free" inspection" and the guy couldnt get the top on air filter box. And it made the turbo and BOV sound 5 times as loud, I brought it back and they put on correctly, and that took care of it.
