Default My GFB is poorly constructed too. Boost and Vacuum leaks, and I already installed

teflon paste on all fittings and tried different kinds of grease on the piston

Default What else honks? (besides the horn)

I had no idea what the horrible noise was until someone described the 'honking' noise, and that is reason enough for me to get rid of it!
BUT, the honking noise only comes around when I am first pull out of my garage/parking spot.
I will examine it a bit more when its out, and see if it makes any difference.
