well i changed all the vac lines to where there is no opening at all, i test drove it and it sounded like a regular bov, no surge but it only lasted for a few pulls. my vsv makes something inside the bov open and close though like it would just keep tapping and knocking. and so far the only 2 shops i tried contacting around my area basically wont help me for whatever reason

 

What do you mean only lasted for a few pulls?
you mean it would sound correct, but then it would go back to surging?

 

yuuup, i just emailed jason at treadstone with the video clip to see what he tells me

 

Let us know what he says. Word of advice, call his ___. He's HORRENDOUS at replying to emails in detail at all. Usually its one sentence like...."I don't know" lol. Naw, but i'd try calling him instead.

 

http://<br /> Hope this helps make ...to understand!

 

I am pretty sure that isnt compressor surge. Reason mine does the same thing and there is no signs of compressor surge at all. I also have a HKS SSQ with a gynormous turbo but i am pretty sure that isnt compressor surge but wastegate flutter as well.

 

thanks chris, i think i had that setup before and it was still the same thing. the damn vsv keeps ticking and making my needle jump or the bov open and close rapidly. I redid the wastegate and everything is fine. im about to order a vac block but still waitin on word from treadstone. by the time i was ready to call they was closed so ill try later. annnnnnnnnnnnd wanna hear more bull____, i go pick up my girlfriend, this fat ____er tries to squeeze in the smallest parking spot next to my car and dents the fender and leaves black marks on it and a few scratches. i had it i think i just might get rid of this damn scion forever lol, straight curse

 

im sorry making post after post but here is a video i just did a few minutes ago. it seems that the bov lets off the way its supposed to only in higher boost. im only running in 5psi but if i just cruise or only boost a little it does that fluttering sound. but in high boost when i let go it seems like its the way its supposed to be. check out the video and let me know what you think, not the greatest quality but its a helio lol.

so...how about that Karma?

Oh, and I couldn't hear anything in that video, but my speakers at work arent' so hot.

 

yea i might have to take a second thought on the karma thing for this time lol. ____s crazy with everything happening

 

well since your an auto, you always going to get some compressor flutter sound. Especially with the push type BOV the RS is. To be honest, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I got an auto with zpi stage 0 running 6psi and I have a HKS BOV and I have no compressor flutter at all. Mabey you should try the HKS BOV and see what happens.

 

HKS SSQV is a pull type, not a push type.

 

So what did our pal Jason @ Treadstone say???? I'm sure it was a short answer whatever it was, LOL.

 

lol yup, not really too short but a lil more haha. this was the response.

yea, it shouldnt sound like that
does it do the same thing when your driving and then let of totaly?

try playing with the screw on top of the BOV, put it all the way tight and then all the way loose to see if it makes a different

But like I said, i got it working now somehow. My next question now is though, I wanna get this aem f/ic. In order for this to work is it really just plug and play,
how exactly does this work if nobody minds telling me. do i get this and have the shop install it before tuning or I can put it on and leave it until it gets tuned??

 

its pnp if you get the pnp harness. and don't put it on until it gets tuned.

 

Wastegate flutter is a myth...in other words wastegate flutter IS compressor surge...

damn so all these push type BOVs Greddy/T'netics/Tial don't work very well with the TC's huh?

that blows i have 2 of the above...

 

It's not that push types don't work on the tC, it may have just been an issue with his particular setup. HIS turbo, HIS automatic, HIS vacuum leak!

and yeah, you need to have a map on the f/ic before you plug it in. I got a few I could send you if you want, no garountees any will work. the right thing to do would be to take it to the tuner and have them install it and tune it right then.
