blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 15y 11m 17d Posted 18/02/09 07:14 AM Share Posted 18/02/09 07:14 AM I've just ordered a Turbosmart Kompact Supersonic BOV from Auto Barn and will pick it up and fit it tomorrow. I know these things are illegal on the street. Just wondering if anyone with BOV fitted got any issues with the issurance. Should I ring up and tell them that I just fitted a BOV or just ignore it. If they still insure my car, I'll definitely ring up and tell them otherwise I'll take it off in case of any accidents involved later on. Mine with AAMI.

blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 15y 11m 17d Posted 19/02/09 03:08 AM Share Posted 19/02/09 03:08 AM Just fitted a Turbosmart Kompact Supersonic into my car and very disappointed at the sound of it. It got a flutter sound (tututututut) intead of the BOV (ppshshshsh) and the Autobarn guy said the supersonic one should be loudest in the Kompact series but I hardly hear anything even at full boost (9psi). It sounds not much better than the stock flutter sound at all.Can anyone got Turbosmart Kompact BOV fitted tell me what yours sound like and how loud it is? Does the hard-soft setting help with the sound? Which setting sounds louder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 19/02/09 04:05 AM Share Posted 19/02/09 04:05 AM (edited) Why don't you two swap then Or, take your BOV completely off MRDOSE. I don't run one & get massive flutter most of the time, just a loud pscchhh when I realy get stuck into it.

Does the hard-soft setting help with the sound? Which setting sounds louder?Have you tried venting the stock BOV?If you're getting turbo flutter ONLY, and not a BOV noise (ie PTCHHHH!) your BOV isn't venting, which means something isn't set up correctly. If you have it set to the hardest setting it won't vent at all and just give flutter, softest setting is full atmo vent which means loud PTCCHH!.
