Default Installed brand new BPV 710N - now getting honking?

Was I suppose to lubricate the new BPV before installing it? or is it possible I got a bad one from the dealership? I checked and it is installed in the right direction -
looks brand new -
Old BPV doesnt honk... any ideas?

Default Mine is about 2 mos old and just started honking at about 2500RPM

I think these 710N just suck. Im not sure they can handle a chipped car. You have more aggressive tuning than I do so its no suprise to me. What RPM do you notice it at?

710N's really suck, get a metal valve. I killed two 710N's in a month.

Default 710N's must be installed with the charge pressure facing the side

Otherwise they die a quick death.
