most turbo cars come fitted with factory ones, i know on my r33 before i modify it when the pressure plate is closed i hear a little wheeeeeesh , sounds rather pathetic but it comes factory standard , its just the ones with the loud PSSSHHT that are illegal as someone said , due to ' environment reasons' if 1 person considers the sound offensive (including your fridge making too much noise) it can be then considered offensive under the epa acts in various states, i know it varies and some it doesnt so check with ur state but in WA i havent been questioned too much about mine, maybe its more strict in some states

Stooj - in my previous post I meant external BOV. Stock ones vent back into the system.

Gerro cops are pretty bored hey? I've had cops round here look under the bonnet - get confused and give up. Another one - whilst giving me a fine - asked me if he should have a look under the bonnet. I said - no officer, it's all legal under there - he said - ok - and left it at that! :D

sumna, the RB20 bov is f'in loud almost all the time no matter what condition its in, especially if you have a pod filter. Was it really sensitive too? go off just feathering the throttle?

I replaced mine with a much quieter atmo venting bov (Thats not a typo). However ive still silenced this one, coz the noise is plain wanky.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
