Its easier for a cooler to cool cooler air than hotter air... Correct? What does colder air equal? I think we all know that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first had to have it wound fully to 'soft' to get it venting at all as the spring in it is pretty heavy duty.Still not much go, so cut 4 coils off the spring and set it at half way..doses once or twice then tries to blow the bonnet lining off!! Love it.Well mate this is how it is... With the stock crossover and piping the ute pinged slightly on a 10 pound tune. NOW with this intake setup, the boost has risen 3 pound, I am yet to hear it ping loaded in 3rd full noise, and when I pull up I can comfortably place my hand on the hotside piping.that means sh*t.... GAINING 3psi un-tuned will make it ping MORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres some pics, the machine quality and appearance of it are really good , as good as any Turbosmart item I have seen.guys, new to this forum. I know this thread is a lil old.. though I just swap my hks ss bov 2day for a drift bov... picked it up for $50 in excelent cond with all the adapters boxed etc... Also I do agree with the 'heavy duty spring' I mite try to cut some coils off the spring aswell... I like the setup now as my pod flutters for couple of seconds (3-4secs) and you hear the bov come on midway (quite loud)... though each to their own with bov sounds... Would love to have the DOSE sound though the performance is drastically reduced having it so close to the engine (hot air) and the uncertainty of turbo damage if any etc Edited 04/04/09 08:12 AM by DK777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
