Well, I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but..........the flutter comes from not having a blow off valve. Just take yours off (if you actually own a car with a turbo) and plug it up. But the lag between gears pisses me off so I go back to the trusty HKS SSQV. Please do searches, questions like these have been answered sooooo many times.

Hi mate.

The only such thing as a perfect BOV is a re-circ one. And sounds like you dont want that.

Please have a search around.

You'll find most of your questions will probabl have been asked once or twice before :D

i did try looking but i didn't find them. thanks anyway

You will hate your atmo bov once your car starts stalling on freeways, traffic lights and other busy places.

Been there done that.

If you really want to waste your money on a bov, get a GFB Stealth fx. They sound good and can be adjusted manually.

He's said he has a PFC in his other thread. If you put an atmo bov on you can tune out all the negative effects that it has on the stock ecu.

Its true. I bought my car with an aftermarket atmo BOV (the sort that goes Psssshhh)

Sure as my first turbo car it put a grin on my face but trust me, I wish I had the stock re-circ BOV handy. Doesn't look all that cool when you pull upto a set of lights and promptly stall. Also causes overfueling when changing gears (loud pops)

The stalling was annoying me so much I went down and bought a piece of rubber hose and some cable ties and did a home DIY job of MAKING my bov plumb back. It kinda worked, doesn't stall nearly as much now but it still has issues, the rubber hose doesn't make the best seal around the BOV vent hole so its still venting about half of it.

Its a pain in the ass I tells ya.

And having driven my car for a year or so now with the atmo BOV, you get sick of it pretty quickly. Do I prefer the psssh noise? I guess, it does turn heads. Is it worth the stalling issues? No way.

Not having ever used the stock BOV (that vents back in) I wouldn't know for sure but I would assume it would make some noise anyway would it not?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
