it would most likely wear a standard turbo out quicker due to backspin.. not straight away. the car would still be drivable though it'll wear quicker the harder you drive/boost it.

Im currently running an aftermarket turbo with no bov. And have not seen any signs of problems or wear to the turbo'.

no expert, but my hypothesis would be that you would suffer boost spikes everytime you changed gears, or got off the loud pedal after boost. invariably there is nowhere else for this air to go but your engine. and remember the throttle is never fully closed, it remains slightly ajar to allow idle. so the pressurised air would find its way into the chambers and create an extremely lean mixture, and possibly result in detonation.

thats just my theory. i want to see how close i am to the truth.

the butterfly does close, the idle control valve at the back of the plenum is used to idle the engine.

the air that is usually supposed to go out the bov is just sent back to the turbo and tries to spin it the opposite way.

IT DOES NOT TRY AND SPIN IT THE OPPOSITE WAY!!!

Turbo fins are setup uni directional.

Spin the compressor one direction, air will move through it. Spin it the opposite, the air doesn't get moved through it.

The same applies if you blow air through it, it'll spin one way, blow it the opposite, it won't.

The issue of turbos slowing down, is you get a large pressure build up between the turbo and throttle, if your pressure source, for your wastegate, is pre-throttle body, the wastegate remains open, but your turbo has less gas flowing through it, and the majority of what exits the motor, is headed down the wastegate anyway, so the turbo slows down that way.

Take the pressure source post-throttle, and you're fine.

edit: On a motor running an AFM, you will get "double counts" of air as it reverts through the intake, and you'll get double the amount of fuel, On an aftermarket ECU, you can tune this issue out to a fair degree, on a factory car ecu car, you'll have stalling issues.

Throw an ECU on that makes the AFM just a piece of pipe (IE, convert to MAP) you won't have an issue.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
