As stated above, i want to know what will happen to the turbo *if anything* if i remove the stock BOV and block up the pipes it carries.

As far as im aware the RB20DET that comes in the cefiro does not have a BOV stock. (Can someone confirm or deny this)

Will it shorten the life of the turbo? cause damage to fins etc etc? Can it snap the exhaust wheel off?

I have a front mount, SAFC II, fuel pump, 3" turbo back.

Anyone?

yeh, like he said, it's not easy to prove for or against, but i mean, many cars block em and last for ages.. Blocking mine stopped the surging i was experiencing in between gear changes.. only problem is the noise, but it's not very audible with stock box on

realistically it'll probably cut your turbo life by about 10 minutes.

YEah doubt itll do much i dont have one and my car is an auto so its always got full boost when it goes through the gears still no damage no end play everything excellent was worried about it when i bought mine but after reading a few threads on SAU couldnt find any thing that made me think i should put one on post-30197-1169037152.jpg

I have a RB20DET and blocked off the standard BOV. It worked really well, sounded good and gear changing felt quicker. Although it started to stall on me every now and then. Revs would just drop down when i changed gears, was very werid. When i put the stock BOV back on car worked fine again. Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks :laugh:

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
