Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 8m 7d Gender: Male Posted 05/02/08 02:51 AM Share Posted 05/02/08 02:51 AM My xr6t is fairly stock but with an aftermarket BOV. no tune or anythingI came across something wierd the other night.. I stalled my car on start up as I left it in gear and didn't clutch it in..But what I noticed, is that the next time I start up the car, THE SPEED dial doesnt work, but my car sounds like its running at FULL boost at really low revs.my bov is heaps louder under 2g. and overall heaps louder than if I would start up my car normally.but in doing this, is this harmful to the car as I have no idea whats going on???

Are your boost gauges accurate ? Spikes inbetween changes ? Maybe cause you ditched your bov.
