Hi,

Ive been hearing people saying that the Apexi Power Intake pod filter flutters and releases a wastegate type noise when u take ur leg off the throttle similar to a blow off valve. Is this true, as i currently have a K&N pod filter, and was wondering does the apexi flutter (eg. BOV or wategate pressure release).

Who has one, is it better performance wise or is it just all noise.

Cheers

John

in no way what so ever will a pod filter make the flutter/venting noise. its all to do with the bov you have. all a pod kit does is eliminate the muffling effect that the stock box has and allows the sound made by your bov to resonate (echo). now some pods by different companies will affect the sound to varying degrees due to their differnt design, but they are all basically justa bit of shaped paper, foam or wiremesh on the end of a tube. just like the one you already have on your car

Since it's already been brought up, I've upgraded to a HKS 2535 but only on 10psi (for now)

I used to have the standard turno on 12psi and never had the flutter, just the load Pssshhhh,

Now with this turbo i get the flutter???? It's on the standard BOV. Only happens on full load between changes

Is the BOV reaching it's capacity?

I don't mind the noise but if it's gunna cause any damage, i'd like it sorted sooner than later.

Thanks guys.,.

I've just gotten my 2535 on too and have noticed something similar...only difference is that i have a rb20det and i'm using a standard gtr bov...any ideas people?

i had a very slight fluttering noise when i put my pod on when i back off the throttle gently but as soon as i installed my fround mount geez it flutters like crazy. it must be echoing off the intercooler pipes and gets heard through the pod im guessing?

for the guy with the 2535, you just need to adjust your bov, although your running the same boost, the 2535 will be feeding your motor cooler air, so there will physically be more air in the system, hence its fluttering now, same goes for you tek 01 with a front mount theres alot more air in there still when you back off, so thats why it will flutter now, just need to adjust your bov

the noise is always present and is amplified by the pod type, i dont run bovs at all and get crazy (dose, flutter and whateva) intake reverb noise on the rb26 and the SR20. BOV's can alter this noise but again have nothing to do with the cause.....only the effect

Edited by URAS

Well it seems like alot of ppl have the flutter with POD's etc. Well i have a front mount with CAI, pod and a stock BOV and i cant seem to get any flutter!!!! Any one tell me why not?????? (just a big woosh) HELP

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.

    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
