i have an auto r32 gtst and this might sound like a stupid question but i havn't owned a turbo car before so be kind.

does the auto gtst still have a stock bov?

if yes i think mine does not have one as when i'm on boost and i take my foot off there is no noise like one would expect.

also, if yes then where is it located? on my intake piping before the throttle body and before the bend there is a small pipe which runs off the main pipe which leads to nothing and is blocked off...anyone know if this is where it should be...or does someone have a pic of a stock bov which i can compare to. maybe its there but stuck or something.

as i said i havn't owned a turbocharged car before so i am learning as i go...

thanks,

Waz

MM2death has given you the pic.

If your one isn't making any noise, then it is probably because you have the standard air box.

When you have a pod filter, it is very free flowing and you can hear all sorts of induction noises.

also, when the bov vents, you will hear a sshhhhh sort of sound.. different to the aftermarket psshhtt sound.

the standard bov makes more like a hissing sound.

IF your bov is removed and all holes are blocked off, and you put a pod filter on, when you back off from the accelerator, you will hear a fluttering sound.. like ch ch ch ch ch ch

Hope this helps.

And there are a fair few turbo cars (engines) that don't have bovs as standard..

here are a few.

Cordia turbo.

CA18DET engined cars.

VL Turbo

That's a few off the top of my head.

Mate... if someone knows what that is i'll fall off my chair.

ALL Auto's i've seen... R31/R32 (imports we are talking here) and i'm assuming it's the same for a 33 but ain't seen and auto one yet.

They all have that little pipe thing your talking about and it goes nowhere and does nothing. (that i know of)

It's also the easiest way to tell if you car has had a manual conversion done to it at any stage :(

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      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.
