Why?

so i can get a dossing sound..

trust me bud, women dont like it. i know you're doing it for the ladiez and think they get nipple fats when they hear it, but really they think you have a small dingaling.

but anyways back to the topic, the 2 pipes connected to the intake snorkel is your blow off valve return line and a crankcase breather (or blowby).

i wouldnt go blocking off the breather but if you're not going to run a bov then you can block off the bov return line.

OR.

save yourself the headaches and potential turbo/engine damage and get a stainless steel intake pipe. you'll have mad flUttErZzZzz.

and no i am not doing it for the ladies i have a misses alredylol i just want the big dose sound because i simply just like it

yea i was going to do that why not do it?

1. it's not designed to run in the cooler piping

2. wierd readings

2. the reading pin inside the air flow meter is a delicate object which you wouldn't want to damage at high boost levels.

i am only gonna run 13-14 psi only..hmm might not do this now arhhh

mate this site is full of critics. if u want dose, than all the best with it. Whether they think its a wank factor or not, when a car doses everyones heads turn. and so what if they have no performance benefit, neither do bodykits or bigger wheels, yet most cars on this forum have one or the other, if not both :)

Quicky has it on the head, damage wise shouldnt cause a problem on low boost but ive seen the vl guys running 20psi on there rb30s with no issues.. It does sound "off tap"

Omar I looked everywhere for that Pink Unicorn... wtf is it?!

Technical info just in, sick dose sound does not come just from metal pipe.. tested and offically makes induction sound louder but not dose.. tightening the bov will tho.

how do i tighten my stock bov? can you do that to a stock one?

you can tighten your stock bov by putting it under a vice grip and "crushing" the top of the bov a couple of millimeter. i would only advise this if you're doing it for bov leaking purposes. using a blanking plate is the same as tightening a bov enough for no air to pass through.

stainless intake pipe will increase the sound of your "dose" because of the resonating sound traveling through. the standard rubber snorkel deadens it.

have a read of THIS. he's apparently the master of "dosing". your new best friend.

hope that helps!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
