Found plenty of info on how to make it flutter though.I was lead to believe it is really bad for your turbo. True or not?I have bought a stock BA turbo with the factory bov return line thing capped off. I rather like the noise but I don't want to go damaging the turbo.I plan on getting a mild tune at some point too, if that makes it any worse.

It is known that oil starvation causes turbo's to die, blocked bov's not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
