tattooaddict Member 7 Member For: 16y 10m 25d Gender: Male Location: Cairns Posted 09/06/08 04:29 AM Share Posted 09/06/08 04:29 AM Just fitted the Turbosmart Kompact Supersonic in about 30 minutes. Seeing I've rarely swung a spanner in my life...prefer to leave it to pro's...I'm happy with the result, sounds good, goes better, $300 well spent. Now I'm going to crack open a carton of Jimmies (which I bought with the money I saved installing the BOV myself) and sit back watching the V8 Supercars for the rest of the day.

Its a plumb back BOV. I have a few questions...1. Can someone explain what the diiference between soft setting VS hard setting?2. What should I set it on running 15psi?3. Are these BOV's installed the opposite way to the stock BOV. The boost and exhaust side are opposite?1. the sound is alot tighter when its set to hard2. doesnt really matter what you set it on3. I dont believe its installed opposite to the stock one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr6tunv Member 47 Member For: 16y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 09/06/08 01:30 PM Share Posted 09/06/08 01:30 PM Just wondering where I join the t-peice for my boost guage with the turbosmart bov adapter. It says that the bov vac hose needs to directly join to the vac nipple, but I ignored that but I got some serious leakage and hardly boosting. So is there another place to join it or even how to connect it because the t-peice is to loose sorta thing and even with a little hose clamp it still leaks.Thankyou.

I've recieved more parts from GFB and changed back to the old pipe and back to the gfb stealth and blcoked the plumbback. Thanks anywayIf anyone wants to buy the adapter and gfb megasonic bov give me a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Member 185 Member For: 16y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 24/06/08 10:25 PM Share Posted 24/06/08 10:25 PM Might as well add my 2c.Bought one of these yesterday afternoon, but I bought the one that has the trumpet on one side and nothing on the other, so its not a plumb back one at all. Shut off the stock 'plumb in' pipe with the metal plug they provided, hooked the BOV up to the BOV line & connected the vac hose up.Didn't wind it tighter or looser, just left it how it came out of the box. Took it for a run up the street, still holds boost well, doesnt leak boost, and has a good sound to it. The psshh sound comes out in 3 bursts, followed by the waste gate dumping a 'hektik flutter uleh'Over all, for $260 that it cost me, it was worth it. Mine being auto you can make it so that no one hears it when u drive, or that everyone hears you, and it doesn't get annoying going off every time you shift gears.My final rating is ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
