I don't know, I presume so because it was always running a dump valve before, and the car cuts out the odd time coming up to a junction which is what happens when you disconnect the recirc valve. It's a HPi filter one I think. How loud is loud?
must be aleak yeah , i never had that problem and the recirc is plugged out , never ever cuts out .. an i have hpi filter too
happened me few times in the silvia , and that was down to a fucked silicone joiner on the intercooler..
