The BOV also provides internet forums with hours and hours colourful discussion and debate...

Now here is my 2c...

In theory it also reduces the loss in turbine rpm during a gear change..This means when you get back on it, the turbine is at a higher rpm (because the compressor discharge hasn't been suddenly blocked) and therefore will spool up quicker...In practice though this may not be noticable much, if at all. It is also very hard to measure...

Got pics?

I've been "window shopping" for some 4 pots.

BTW got my modified coilovers back from the engineers today. Going to fit the rear Ohlins coilovers tonight (and maybe the fronts if not too dark - bloody daylight savings!)

Block the BOV in and auto and you'll notice it easily.

Yeh i tried it(blocking BOV) went around the block......GHEY!!!

My theory is,if you got time to hear the psshhh .....your not changing gears fast enough....simple.

Besides bullets are made from lead so they are soft as, you could shoot a turbine housing and youwn't even mark it :lol:

Mmmm... I shot a bullet through outer guard, inner guard, cast iron 308 block, inner guard once...I know it's no turbine housing :blink: but wtf are you talking about Willis ?

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
