LTHLRB that is not the case even with me. i had to rotate front and rear housing about 4 times to get it spot on. and no i didnt bend any lines what so ever :)

*im not flaming anyone but this was the case

Lthlrb, that is not the point of the thread, please don't get sidetracked, I don't want to turn this into a flame war - this is about reversion, and bovs!

But, me, r33god, and CEFIE and other people I know had to rotate the housing, lines had to be bent, because they didn't line up (no my stock lines weren't bent - when I saw that it didn't line up, I took the turbo off, put the stock one on, and they lined up perfectly). The catridge was about 1-2 cm from having the oil inlet facing upwards, and the water banjo holes facing striaght sideways. My turbo was installed by my friend who is a mechanic/fabricator/fitter turner, so he's not some backyard bogan who doesn't know what he's doing.

for discussion of installation, pleae do so in nic's thread.

so do you know why the bov isn't opening at low rpm, and causing chop chop, whereas it did open with the stock turbo?

cause it dosent have enough pressure to open it. i heard it will only open at 10psi and up?

correct me if im wrong please :)

on another note i had to ajust/bend my actuator forward so the wastegate stays closed when im not boosting. i fixed that today and boost comes on much earlier ;)

That's what I was saying to paulr33 above - that was his theory that at 3k rpm, the highflow might only have 4 psi, whereas the stock turbo may have had 7

but this is what I said - did your stock turbo ever flutter? mine never did, whether releasing at 1 psi, or 20 psi.

ur bov is prob farked. I dont really know my blow off valves.. i dont run them and dont like them...

I found with my bov connected it surges HARD like it will come onto boost. anything past 9 - 10psi it will go CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO all the way thru the rev range untill i let go. std bov = gay

my turbo actually didnt and isnt giving me hastles (will needa c if it produces the power i was told it will produce) Fits perfectly on my new engine and i have pics to prove.

Your pics don't prove anything. You can have a look at a pic of the turbo installed in my car. looks like it's standard. You can't tell that iv'e rotated the housing or that i've bent lines.

My stock bov is fine. Tested the mechanism in it, and it's the same as before.

i wouldnt worry about it man it sounds good, and wont harm the turbo, well not at a lower boost level where it does flutter.

oh yea..my msn's on. sign out and back in. mines fine

but im too lazy to rotate a turbo around and stuff lol its not like im lying to you, im saying, that when aaron sent the turbo, i put it directly on my new engine iv built and wallah, fits fine.

You may have another case, but i dont agree that you got ripped or anything (you shouldnt have baught it if u are complaining now)

Maybe wind the boost up?

i got another point...

My mate has a 500hp hypergear external gated high mount turbo, He made a front facing plenum, there was that much pressure iin the piping and all that 6psi seized the throttle and it couldnt shut, he now runs a hks ssq bov, which on 6psi sounds like hell!

I'm not complaining! It runs like a 12 year old kid with a porno mag. Like I said to you above, I don't care about the isntall of it! that's not the purpose of this thread. I'm triyng to understadn why the bov was opening stock and isn't opening now!

Obviously you didn't have to rotate it, because you got braided lines, whcih are flexible - the reason why I had to rotate, is to give the metal lines the best chance of fitting on wiht the least bending.

I don't have a front mount. I have a sidemount. All the front mount does is amplifies the sound (echoes through the chamber)

And before anyone says omg, get a front mount before you get a turbo - I have one, I just tested with a sidemount to see if the reversion was still there with the sidemount, and it was.

not everyone had the joys you did with it fitting straight on :) regardless of the mucking around we did its a fantastic turbo.

im happy ;)

Ever seen a compressor map? they're not exactly linear.. what someone was trying to say earlier is that even at 4psi and 2k rpm, the stock turbo is probably still flowing enough air to open the bov. I'm no expert, but that makes perfect sense to me.

hey ducki, are you running a pod filter? or standard airbox. If you're running the airbox, you probably won't hear anything, or it'll be very very little.

I've tried my airbox, even with a Kn panel, and I almost oculdn't hear any noise.

manwhore.

try this, disconnect the hose that goes to the bov....the one that comes from the plenum.

take it for a drive and u should have that flutter.....then plug the hose back in and see if the noise changes....if it doesnt i'd be guessing that the bov isnt working.

thats my theory for the day....

Yogi, the bov is working, aboive 4k rpm

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
