do any of you run this bov on your setup and if so how do you like it? i heard one today on a subaru wrx and it did not flutter even once so im wondering if it will flutter on my tc? also i have found an adaptor plate to allow the turbo xs to mount to the hks "ssv" mount. is the ssqv the same thing as the ssv?
here is the link to the adaptor plate

bump for info.

 

i've got the RFL on my greddy kit. it isnt really a fluttering sound. its more like a woosh sound.

 

any way you could make a video with it blowing off? my car usually flutters, sometimes it gives the nice whoosh.

 

I'll try and get one for you before the end of the night! I'll do my best, im a little tied up getting ready for HIN this weekend.

 

have you heard any of the other tc turbo kits? they dont fully blow off all the time, some times its a bunch of little blow off's, a fluttering sound.

 

the fluttering sound is most likely the HKS SSQV.

What do you have now?

 

right now i run the hks ssqv, but i had the same issue with the tial bov's

 

a friend of mine has a video clip of the sound. once he gets home he's going to link me and i'll post it on here for you.

 

*watches to see if I can find a clip

 

If i'm on low boost, it's a fluttering sound. If I'm at high boost, it's a whoosh.

I have the SSQV

 

i want a whoosh all the time, the fluttering sounds retarded.. when i stomp the gas at full boost yes usually i get the full on whoosh. i want a low boost woosh as well. my buddy's wrx does it with that bov even at 1psi.

 

I get the same thing with the Turbonetics Raptor BOV

 

Large turbos on low boost will flutter under less than WOT conditions. It's just the characteristics of the turbo. Small turbo's don't flutter much at all hence the WRX sounding that way.

It will still probably flutter less than the HKS or TiAL but by how much I can't say.

 

i have one for sell if your thinking about getting one

 

the "flutter" sound is called compressor surge! there isn't enough vacume to open the bov, so the air backfeeds to the turbine wheel..

 

Well, i hear that sound, but I also hear my bov whistling when it's doing that. It's not one big whoosh that's all.

 

i dont have compressor surge, i know what that sounds like. its the physical blow off valve fluttering, no noise from the compressor at all.

 

Usually a Fluttering sound comes from having a dumped Wastegate, do you know if yours is or not? Also what kinda of Bov are you currently running?

 

i have an open dumptube on my wastegate. not sure how that would cause the fluttering though.
