Hey Scott,

I have a few points:

1. Was this problem occuring BEFORE you did the upgrade?

2. Is your BOV aftermarket? If it is, is it venting to atmosphere? If it is then thats a BIG NO NO!!!!!!!!!

3. Check out this link:

It is a mechanical service but may fix your problem (I had to do it)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope I provided some insite for you :ph34r:

yeh i pretty sure thats to atmostphere then mate

if its plumbed back there;ll be a little tube which takes the air from the bov and plumbs it back into the system..

with an atmo it gets rid of the air all together (into the atmostphere - hence "atmosphere") and the afm goes holy balls where'd that air go and shits its self.. (basically :ph34r:)

wat do you mean by atmosphere?? i just got a turbosmart bov with that trumpet looking bit on it!

If it is the trumpet turbosmart then it will be vent to atmosphere.

Vent to atmosphere = the LOUD wank/illegal pppssssttttt noise you hear from the BOV in between each gear change!

Mate that can really be the cause of your problem. The stock ECU relies on the air that is vented from the BOV being recirculated back into the intake

yer tru, cause wen i got my front mount and intake done they removed the plumb and stuff, so if i put in like a hks ssq bov will that be better for it?

Let me save you the expense by telling you this.

Your stock BOV is PERFECTLY fine for the power level you will be running with those mods.

I am running more than double the factory horse power on my car with still the stock BOVs. All day everyday no problems :D

Put the stocker back in and plumb it all back again into the intake. Keep it legal bro.....don't give the cops a reason to pull you over!!!!!!!!!!!

If your mechanic reckons you need an aftermarket BOV and that you can vent to atmo with your stock ecu.......then they need to go back to the mechanic school 101 class :ph34r::D

Whoever did your BOV install MUST give back to you ALL the items he/she took off the car during the install. Every competent mechanic will just pop it all in a box in the boot of your car.

You are going to have to get the original stuff back from them other wise you are going to have to spend some more money to do one of the following:

1. You go to a wrecker and get all the factory hoses, etc to fit the stock BOV back on.

2. Turbosmart should provide as an option part to convert you BOV to return. This means a pipe/hose can be run back to your intake.

To round up:

1. You MUST feed the BOV venting back into the intake.

2. If the problem still persists (unlikely) Clean the AAC Valve.

The reason they said u need an A/M BOV is because they were to lazy to make a new return pipe for the vented air (when installing an A/M IC it's easier to put on an AM BOV), If u want the A/M BOV on there clean your AFM, AAC valve and every time your about to stop (going about 5KM/H) give it a touch on the accelerator peddle.. i would recommend going back to to standard BOV as you don't really sound like your that confident working on your car.

Before you do a mod research, research, research.... even if your mechanic says you need to do this, this and this to get ...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
