sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 4m Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 28/11/11 11:02 AM Author Share Posted 28/11/11 11:02 AM A BOV only works when you back off the throttle, this thing only works when the pressure reaches a set point, kinda like a wastegate but nothing like a BOV.

My main point was that Nizpro are exy (I would have said rapists though) without being blunt (or edited!).Good thing is it does fix the boost spike on gear change (and any other spike) and stay at a constant boost level and you can take it to any turbo car when you do sell or expand the car.Mines a 4sp but I get to see the prob with a mates FG all the time when he's having fun in it.

If I wasn't flat out at work I probably would have went the wastegate option, if I knew it would take over a week to get from sydney to cairns in an airbag I would have told them to shove it.

We can get stuff quicker from HK via there normal air mail than our own country...Was the delay due to Nizpro or that it actually sat at the post depot for a few days either end?

Protecting engine and ZF from these spikes or full on boost runaway for $350, IMO, is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 9m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/11/11 05:32 AM Share Posted 29/11/11 05:32 AM How does it work when the throttles open? Wouldn't the overboosted air just take the easy path? Which is continue into the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
