Yes, I had the hissing sound. But I was able to fix it. In my case, the problem was the gasket between the throttle body and the adapter. It protruded into the neck of the throttle body. It was seemingly minimal but it was enough to create a sharp edge for the air to tumble over. I sanded down the gasket to create a smooth transition from the throttle body to the gasket to the adapter. I have little or no hissing sound now- and mine was pretty loud initially.

I tested without the adapter and the hissing was lower... But i have located the problem it is the hole for the IAC. What should i do?
IŽm thinking about drilling a hole in the throttle blade in the same size as the one in the stock throttlebody blade. Why isnŽt it a hole in the BBK?
