dude uve been trolling the whole "bov" discussion lately... if u have nothing useful to add, move along plz.

lately??

always.

and it's always stupid questions.

just like yours.

is it not obvious that the sound will be louder with a pod?

it's no longer enclosed in a sealed box with padding to kill sound.

they say there are no stupid questions but f*k me.. there are a few execptions to the rule.

you don't have to know anything about cars to know that it would be louder.

nothing useful to add... I gave you a f*king award didn't I?

:pwned:

I went through this too, when I got my car last year, one of the first mods I did was a hks Bov, and I loved it.

SirD I'd say go for it, it makes driving fun but you'll most likely end up removing it like me.

After I got my frontmount installed it made the whoosh I was after with the pod and only at heavy throttle, unlike the bov which goes off even under light throttle which I think is really embarrasing in everyday traffic.

Well i have an auto, so it doesnt go off very easy, you need to rev it past 3000 rpm for it to go off nicely... anything past 5000 is just awesome... I drive like grandpa mostly so if i do launch it, it sounds awesome.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
