when you change gears quickly the bov doesn't have much time to dump air, so there isn't much of a pressure loss in the piping.

i'd possible point the finger at the boost controller. the air between the controller and the wastegate isn't able to escape fast enough, so the wastegate is still partly open when you get on the gas again, so you have less boost until the wastegate is fully shut.

My thoughts also.

When I was fiddling around making my own bleeders a few years back I came across this issue, but boost didn't come on with a jolt it was a smooth slow spooling laggy gutless feel.

IF the bov is venting to atmosphere you can experience a 'lag' of sorts between gear changes that feels like a jolt as the motor floods. The reason for this is between gear changes the ecu has metered an amount of air that has entered the ic and its piping, when shutting the throttle partially for a gear change the bov opens and dumps this air. So the mixture is going to be pig rich.

There's a couple of ways around this... Recirc bov or no bov at all.

For almost none of that slight 'lag' when you jump back on the throttle after a slow/mediocre speed gear change run no bov as the turbo doesn't have to do any work to 're pressurise' the ic and its piping. You get back on the throttle and the turbo torque is just simply there. ;) The total opposite of what many believe. The bov in fact increases slow/mediocre gear change lag.

A fast slapping change.. well bov or no bov there's no real difference.

In your case... I would start by blocking the bov off. See if it makes a difference. If there's no difference you know the issue is some where else.

Oh by the way i finally got around to blocking my bov off and it's fixed the surging problem on gear changes, and seems to have more go after changes as well (+ i just got hi flo panel so i dont get any flutterz) so give it a shot and post results here if any one can be bothered

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
