Good thing about this BOV is that you can adjust how tight the spring is and how much you vent out to atmosphere. You can get somewhat of a flutter out of it if you adjust the spring tighter (done by turning the head of the BOV up). I set the spring up on half way so it only fluttered down low, never when revs were up high.But if you want serious flutter go for this kit..I bought a similar one : Link If your looking at this option talk to Robin @ Torque Performance in Auckland, hes Jesus when it comes to these cars.I only hear the BOV when I really put my foot up it otherwise I just hear alot of turbo spool and flutter.But if I was you and Im pretty sure you dont want to spend as much as that process west kit I would:*Buy aftermarket BOV*Change filter to K&N or other recommended filter for what your after.*possibly put a 3" exhaust on it (you dont need a tune for 3")BUT whatever you do be careful as in most cool mods do need a tune - big intercooler, short air intake, +3.5" exhaust etc etc Edited 08/01/12 04:49 AM by FOONIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club isnt as popular down south as up north but I seen a few non-member cars about round CHCH. Luckily the quakes havent moved too many :D xr6t's and N/A falcons are allowed to join too. The Tickford and FPV club page*Admin - can delete if advertising of this sort is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a little bit of a squeeze but if you follow instructions its all good.however if your after a tuner to do the work I am not sure for down south....some people use Harmans in CHCH but if you want it done once and done right take it to Torque Performance in Auckland Edited 09/01/12 01:01 AM by FOONIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we are soon to have the new BBQ made from the rear tray of a xr6 ute :Dbut mostly its the events and cruises topped off with the atmosphere, everyone gets along with everyone. The annual fee does kinda suck though but Im sure you would be able to come along and see if your into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
