wow, never thought my thread would go there so fast. ok so one more question. i have an aftermarket hks mushroom filter on the stock intake tube. my blow off is really loud. ive got a fmic and intake head and catback. the rest is stock. i kinda just wanted to get rid of the stock pipe whre the bov sits and move the bov. i kinda also like the flutter sound.

abu, what were you talking about flutter earlier

I think you mean you want to have a flutter sound right?

remove your bov (2 bolts, 2 clamps)

cut out a piece of sheet metal the same shape as the base of your bov and drill the holes for the 2 bolts.

put that under the bov and plug it all back in as it was.

now you have blocked off your bov and it looks stock.

you will get flutter.

then, once you get annoyed of the car not acting as it should, you can easily just remove the plate under the bov and be back to normal.

why don't you just stop the standard bov leaking and leave everything the way its meant to be, bov's and flutter just mean more unwanted attention which at the end of the day will cost you more in $$ with the cops when they start defecting you (not to mention the wank factor)

or just buy the GTR bov and fit that like everyone else has said, people on here don't come on just to hang shit on everyone (dunno bout everyone but meh..) and you ask for answers and people have given you the right answers...

the best thing about SAU is that no matter what your question is, someone else has already been through the same thing, they are talking from experience, f**k the atmo bov off, don't block your bov cos you'll end up with the back of stock turbo in your muffler

gtr bov is plumback.

it can "blow off" more air than the gtst one.

but the gtst one is also good for well over 200rwkw.

GTR's have 2 bovs as standard.

they sit in the drivers side front guard.

gtst owners usually upgrade to a single gtr bov.

each gtr bov can breath more air and for this to happen, the OUTLET is larger in diameter.

to fit to a gtst, it will bolt on to the stock gtst bov position, but you will have to get a larger diameter PLUMBACK line.

NO, you can't vent the gtr bov to atmo.

not having a bov will not break the back wheel of your turbo.

if anything, it's the front wheel that "could" be damaged.

No the stock gtst ones don't leak after 10 psi.

No it doesn't matter which gtr bov you get.

expect to pay about $150 for the pair or half that if someone is selling one.

Or you could buy this!

that is old skool

been around for like 5 years.

why would you buy it when you can get a screw and stick it in there yourself?

the little hole is there for a reason.

it helps to open and shut the bov faster.

if it's blocked, the car feels a little more jerky on the transition point from boost to vacuum.

as in when you back off from the accelerator in a gradual fashion (like when you drive on the street)

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
