Ok, i found out that we installed the BOV incorrect. Apparently we dont connect the lower nipple to anything at all. And not to use a T for the actuator and the BOV top nipple to the intake manifold. That's what was causing that rattling sound which i found that out to be a compressor surge. I each ran a deducated hose for the BOV and the actuator and the compressor surge doesnt happen as much as it use to but it is still there but only if i immediately let off the gas when it's spooling. How can i cure compressor surge? per the Greddy site about the BOV, it should be tight as possible. Well, it's almost as tight as possible. i think i can do it more.

I also called Greddy and the FMU is suppose to blink green and the whistle sound at the end of the WHHOOOSSSHH sound is normal.

Going to my mechanic today to retighten some bolts in the rear due to squeaking. i might as well have him check the CEL as well.
