FFS, my RB20 does not like stock bovs and I've got no fking idea whats causing it :dry:

It struggles to get to .4 bar at full throttle. With the bov blocked it makes .8 no worries. Also of interest is that the bov doesn't open properly when it's plumbed in. Opens briefly at full throttle but still flutters like mad otherwise, like it's not even opening. My old 32 would NEVER flutter with the bov plumbed in, like it opened even backing off at 0 boost.

On the plus side it seems pretty controllable to slide, even on stock sus with a weak viscous diff :P

willing to pay more if you have to travel !

could be a leak on your BOV by the sounds of things andrew....

try another stock BOV if you can get your hands on it mate..

Thats what I thought, so I did just that and it does the same thing :dry:

Stock RB20 one does it and stock RB25 s2 that I just bought does it as well. I'm thinking maybe a vac line somewhere might be a bit suspect.

i would say that if its making the right boost when the BOV is blocked off then just leave it blocked off....Flutter FTMFW

but now it sounds like the vac line from the BOV to the plennum is leaking or something strange is happening

let us know when you find out what the problem was mate

good luck

PS flutters man leave it fluttering lol

Not real keen on the flutter hey :P

Well, not all the time. Sometimes it's good (like driving through Mt Barker around 3:30 on a school day :P ) but yeah mostly it's just annoying.

What are you doing near a school andrew....specially on a school day :dry::P

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
