cant believe im actually replying....but

BOV's dont "flutter" the "choof", like a sneeze

That flutter sound is caused by compressor surge, i.e. BOV isnt doing its job of flowing boost when the throttle is shut, and the air pushing its way back into the compressor

You cant try removing ur BOV and blanking it off

yeh, thats not a BOV, they have just blocked off the hole on the intake pipe where the BOV normally sits.

makes the air travel back through the turbo instead of into the atmosphere

the noise is made from the turbo fins chopping up the air and then its pushed out through the pod filter

its not the best for your turbo but prevents intake pressure drop between gear changes

i did this in my 33.... it sounded unreal... scared shitloads of people and just plum sounded tuff.... but it made the thing soooo hard to drive... alright when on the limit... but just cruising, gear changes were made soo much harsher and the shock to the driveline was quite violent when releasing the throttle. it didnt take long for the turbo to shit itself either. afms dont like it much either.

and it was only a weekend car... not a daily.

not a good idea... a good plumb back and metal tubing will make a nice enough sound.

if you do though, it sounds better if you get a hard pipe to the turbo, it will sound better than the rubber one.

cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
