It is attached to the fresh-air side of the turbo at a "T" intersection, and to the intake manifold at the throttlebody. There is a vacuum line running from the intake manifold to the top of the valve. That's is. The valve will make noise when the diaphragm is ripped, torn, or otherwise mis-seated (i.e. failed) or sometimes if it is doing its job. The sound is sometimes a whistle, but more often a hooting sound made by the valve. A failed valve will often result in a high or irregaular idle. If you're getting some other noise, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. -Justin
