yes its safe. You will still get some sound like a flutter

Dumbest thing ive ever heard.. Get a plumb back if youve got a bigger turbo recirculation helps with smoother transition of gears.. blocking off the bov will make the turbo chuff/flutter and make the car feel like its almost going to stop during gear change.

not sure what air your on about.

only if they like fully sik vl turbos uleh

WTF you clown, stop spamming this poor guys thread with your useless bandwidth wasting posts!

He just had a legitimate question, so came to this forum for support and guidance, yet he gets you.

What a joke.

dont single me out, get a sense of humor.

Your tuner must be smoking the good shit

well i had an atmospheric on and the more i vented it the ranker it ran so i whent back to a plum back .. guess ill just see how i go with it blocked off if it runs shitt ill change it again,,,

i have mine blocked off, my tuner said it makes no difference in performance, or life of your turbo.

i have it blocked off purely for the sound.

all comes down to personal choice really.

what sound does yours make and how loud ..also this would be legal so no sticker :D

If your running an AFM, with a blocked off bov, it WILL idle worse and stall under heavy braking (due to extra vacuum).. not fun.

    • Back on topic for you for a post Will it be on pump or ethanol? 2025 Spec RB build: G30 660 .83 would be good  artec manifold turbosmart 45mm external gate 1000cc Injectors Kelford cams 264 and springs Pistons and rods for insurance Oil pump with billet gears Headdrain and all good oil mods Quality intercooler 3.5 inch dump pipe to decent exhaust Link plugin Ecu or what ever your tuning is comforatble with Bolt on Trigger Kit - Nzwiring kit is go to ARP Headstuds Quality headgasket quality fuel pump- a TI/walbro 525lph PWM would be the go Quality fuel reg Will be over $15K AUD Enjoy the noise of rb on gate at over 7400rpm. Start looking for gearbox conversions if your hard on the gear. Now I've been there and done that with rb powered street car (2007-2022) much prefer newer stuff. Anything 90's Japanese is not a great experience these days and highly over rated. My 2015 Brz with a heap of suspension mods is such a better car even with out the power of my old s chassis' even on track. If wanting to play light chassis and decent power for a  giggle a k swap 86/brz would be the go Check my old build for engine stuff I really need to pay attention to post 2016 BMW stuff but seem all very heavy 1600+kg  
    • I mean, the 240i is not a Supra... make it drop a few hundred kg, have a sportscar chassis, clearance for wheels etc... Maybe I want a hardtop Z40i XDrive or something :p I do agree with you though and have long said the B58 Supra/240i/340i/440i is the new R Chassis/JDM90's turbo rocket for mod lovers to ... not always appreciative response lol. Doesn't make it not true though.
    • I will do the build myself but I will be paying for the tune because I don't know how much about that and would rather it be done right and by a professional 
    • Will you build and tune it yourself or do you need to pay for labour? 
    • Mechanically that's essentially what the M240i is, it's just not pretending it's not a BMW
