Sounds neat, but I heard blocking them isn't good for the engine and car, it can cause backfire which reforces the air back into the engine.Over 100,000km on my BFII with 15PSI of boost through the stock BOV (210,000+ overall kms), makes big flutter and I haven't blocked it off, it just can't vent fast enough. Turbo still going fine, and I make it flutter every single day.When it was stock, I could get the tiniest amount of flutter if I loaded it up in 2nd or 3rd, and shifted up at the same time as getting off the throttle...gear changes cause a boost spike to 9PSI, stock. Closed throttle at the same time to make it do it. Was barely noticable though!Very good work buying the car yourself mate. Avoid binning it into a kerb or rear ending someone, keep it serviced well ($$) and it will give you lots of boosted love in return! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How heavy on fuel are we talking? and have you measured at the bowser? or are you trusting the computer in the car to tell you? I actually don't know about the bowser? What is it? And I use my trip to tell me, but sometimes I'm unsure cause the fuel range it gives me with how much kms I have left drops a few k and I've only literally got off my driveway!! I filled it up on standard unleaded a few days ago and so far I've done 173kms (according to my trip) and I've got 267kms left? Now youse tell me if this sounds normal haha. I know the ford turbo models are heavy on fuel, there not the best, but I think my bov is causing my fuel to drop aswell as my low-profiles? Is it true that having aftermarket chromes on low profiles are a cause your car chewing fuel?Just want to know thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid binning it into a kerb or rear ending someone, keep it serviced well ($$) and it will give you lots of boosted love in return! Thankyou so much that's very helpful! To be honest I didn't know you could change and release the throttle at the same time to produce a flutter? Deffinelty going to try it! I brought mine with 117xxxkms and I've done 2000 so far. How much boost can the stock engine handle? Mines running the standard 6psi according to my turbo timer, is it possible to run it higher? Can the stock engine handle higher boost? And yes thanks on the feedback, and driving it through a brick wall is the last on my mind. I think because I brought it with my own money, I appreciate it a lot more then the other younger p-platers the get there money else how. I take into consideration that I'm lucky to own one and I always get told I have a too nice of a car for a first timer haha. Let's just say flogging it is the last of my plans I like driving it with pride and enjoying the ride :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run 15psi, and that's my limit on my taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only a few % though.Also, this is a Bowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
