Made a nice whistle sound on the gear change. Don't know much about how these work, do they add performance or are they just for the effect? and are they easy for a diy fit?Cheers .........muncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it between gear changes. but to put it in perspective putting octane booster would feel quicker.they are just for the noise more then anything, there are heaps on the market but if you are looking to get one, turbo smart make a full kit for the xr6 turbo.it changes the pipe to a metal on with a bracket for the bov.this is what I am running.it is a loud sound, a little too loud for me but everyone has the own thorghts about it.

DAWSEY Member 441 Member For: 18y 10m 26d Gender: Male Posted 05/11/06 04:59 AM Share Posted 05/11/06 04:59 AM yeah the car is on the dyno on tuesday, so I can do it then.at low boost it flutters.(like the vl turbos do)take into account that I am running around 20psi so it will sound alot louder(more air flowing) then one running say 21psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the stock one doesn't leak, the only difference an aftermarket one will give is noise.Knock yourself out:http://www.935motorsports.com/bovmediaX.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate did this, his turbo was gone ... if you run small boost not too muchan issue, but if your running higher boost I wouldnt be doint thisAbout the initial question, the GFB Stealth FX is a direct replacement also ... fits in the factory position and is adjustable.

I highly doubt you will get back spin...RPM will decrease, but it will not back spin.Also afaik the nizpro stage 2 kit runs no BOV is this correct for 390fwkw...Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanic at the time blamed it on no release valve and "apparant" back spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
