STAINLESS again plz You've changed man.... Donating Members 8,142 Member For: 14y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: 2 Fuchsia Court, Narre Warren. 3805 Posted 22/10/11 08:25 AM Share Posted 22/10/11 08:25 AM bovs are a whole different debate. some say it lags coz the turbo has to work harder to spool up when bov is blocked off because of the air rushing back through the blades. some say theres less lag cause the pipes are already pressurised by the air that didnt escape.imo if there was a difference people wouldnt be on both sides of the fence. so yer. want tututut block off bov and get some boost up ya.

Then he took the bov out plumbed it back, and the shove it had on gear changes was a shock.. Im guessing all the pressurised air now left in the system made for some neck breaking gear changes, was awesome.. Felt heaps quicker Edited 22/10/11 10:31 PM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 15y 1d Gender: Male Posted 27/10/11 07:16 AM Share Posted 27/10/11 07:16 AM ...some say theres less lag cause the pipes are already pressurised by the air that didnt escape.There's an article on Autospeed where Nizpro reckon they tested this on a car running 1:40's round Winton. It supposedly lost around 2 sec a lap with a BOV fitted. Apparently WRC cars don't have them for this reason?I have no BOV & get the tututut sound.

djqc Member 291 Member For: 13y 4m 22d Posted 30/11/11 01:17 PM Share Posted 30/11/11 01:17 PM (edited) I got it but don't want the flutter or (dose?? where the f*ck does dose come from?) anyway mine is a g6et and I hate the flutter. its so loud and it makes my sleeper sound like a truck. I guess its a trade off when going with bigger power/boost/piping etcanyway of getting rid of the flutter? will an aftermarket plumb back bov allow more air to flow out at the throttle body end? does it plumb back into the air intake, before the turbo?
