horze Member 35 Member For: 13y 2m 13d Posted 23/01/13 05:51 AM Share Posted 23/01/13 05:51 AM so very keen on gettin a flutter sound. after reading 2 of the 4 stickies of the BOV section ive pretty much been brain washed that its not going to damage the turbo if I vent to atmosphere.. lolwas just about to start playing around with this.... I have a pretty stock ba xr6t 03 model. only thing that makes it not stock is a fpv intercooler and it was flash tunes of somesort (I think) by previous owner. ..On idle with everything non touched(bov im talking) and rev to say 3000 or 4000... should I hear the BOV working.Reason im asking is.. I feel like car is lacking in power. like my boost isnt working 100%anything I can go and check? thanks in advance guysCharlie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83705-lack-of-power-bov-test/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

horze Member 35 Member For: 13y 2m 13d Posted 23/01/13 06:55 AM Author Share Posted 23/01/13 06:55 AM the thing is when im driving and I let go of throttle quick at say 3000 I can hear a quiet teh teh tehmight chuck a boost guage to test it out. when u say boost.. u mean the turbo.. sorry my lackof knowledge with turbos is pretty basic. Ive only usually had v8'sand should I get a bov sound on idle when releasing the throttle after 3000rpm?spinr33 thanks for that. im guessing itll just go a pschtt sound then with venting the bov to atmosphere Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83705-lack-of-power-bov-test/#findComment-1353443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check for bird droppings when parked over night.

HYPEDF6 Donating Members 301 Member For: 12y 5m 4d Gender: Male Posted 23/01/13 07:21 AM Share Posted 23/01/13 07:21 AM Seriously just remove your BOV, Block up the cross over and intake with chair stoppers. At least then you get your flutter and eliminate a boost leak from your suspected dodgy BOV. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83705-lack-of-power-bov-test/#findComment-1353478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickBA-XR6T Bronze Donating Members 386 Member For: 13y 2m 2d Posted 04/02/13 07:34 AM Share Posted 04/02/13 07:34 AM I removed my BOV yesterday. 2 Chair leg ends from bunnings and some clamps, and blocked the vacuum hose with a screw. Sounds a little louder but not much flutter on stock PSI.
