Pod + no BOV = Loud rattle snake Std paper Filter + no BOV = very tiny bit of rattle snake. Std paper Filter + TS BOV = Loose setting (Pssshhhh...Pssshhhh) tight setting (Pssshhhh) No intake pipe + TS BOV = explosion of psshhh + rattle snake These are the facts......on 5.6 psi!!!

COZ THERES SO DAMN MANY!!! lolBut here goes...I went to bunnings and got all the bits n pieces I needed.Popped the bonnet and fiddled around, I had taken the cross over pipe off and realised I got plastic chairs stoppers, not the rubber ones and for the life of me I couldn't get them to fit!Anywho, it was 5.30 on a Sunday arvo n Bunnings was closing at 6 so I knew I couldn't make it back in time. Desperately figuring out other ways to do this, I've blocked off the BOV on the right side and blocked off the vacuum line on the other side.So basically looks like this...I find a get a great low down flutter(between 2-3000rpm), but up high.. its not so great coz u can bearly hear it over the engine/exhaust. And yea, I too have noticed a slight drop in throttle response.I kinda figured this would be the same thing as removing the BOV coz it has nowhere to vent.Is this right??Please guys I'm all ears..Jarrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car feels quicker smother and easier to change gears. I think the factory blow off valve was put there to stop noise more then anything!

If anything I find the turbo takes a little while longer to do its job. Altho having an auto, if you go flat stick straight line im pretty sure it stays on boost between gear changes I don't really notice much difference. just stop/start driving is a little laggier.
