It's called 'dosing' in the VL world, also know as 'flutters', but around here it's best described as 'compressor surge'.

It's the sound of the air bouncing off the turbine blades when the butterfly to the intake plenum is closed. Normally all this pressurised air get's released by the Blow Off Valve, but if you don't have one, it does that.

Different length, shape and designs of pipes make different noises...

It's either a HKS Super Sequential BOV or some cheap ass BOV or like what others have said compressor surge.

HKS Super Sequential BOV = Wank (Only useful on highly tuned cars that are running a lot of boost and the stock one cannot handle it any more)

Compressor Surge = Say goodbye to your turbo.

Is that the HKS SSQV BoV? I've been trying to convince a mate to buy one for his evo, but all the vids I've seen of it its a sharp, high pitched noise rather than the VL flutter.

Just curious, is "dosing" unique only to the VL, or is there a specific reason VL owners choose it?

Yeah either it's the HKS BOV or like others have said with the metal pipe.

Any turbo car can make the noise, it just depends on the BOV set up or whatever the owner does to it.

The stock BOV should not make any noise, at least no "Stu Tu Tu".

But if you put on an air pod, while still having your stock BOV, you will get a nice "Suction" noise then a "Choo" at the end (Only when on boost).

What the hell is that noise? I've heard it twice now, both times from VLs. Is it some tricked out BoV?

If you ask me I think it sound ridiculous. My girlfriend was in hysterics for about 10min as we drove beside this thing.

Thanks.

LOL! just search "VL turbo dose" on youtube,,theres thousands of videos on that stuff,,apparently they're a favourite with wog guys and their significant others

my ceffy doses like an athlete on the roids, but it comes from factory with no recirculation valve, and still runs stock boost on a stock turbo. all you have to do is take out the intake resonator and bolt in a pod and I get instant flutters.

GAGF if that's bad for the turbo, it came from factory like it and has run for 180,000 kms with no damage to the turbo or engine.

that is incorrect.

the only relation a BOV has to flutter/dosing is whther its blocked or not. the type of flutter/dose depends on the width, length and material of the induction pipe. the turbocharger does play a roll aswell.

all a bov does is hold the air trapped in the piping. so it bounces around and goes back through the turbo, for the turbo wheel fins to chop up and make a stuttered noise.

a SSQV HKS BOV has nothing to do with dosing....its just like any other BOV... but produces a whistle like sound when air goes through it. if you block it off, its the same as your OEM bov and every other blocked bov. does nothing special.

the Dose you hear on VLs sound like stupid dolphins or piegons as you heard.

they run a small metal pipe, no bov, and multiple bends to magnify thehigh pictched stuttered noise.

alot of the high powered veicles in japan and here automaticlly produce this sound as a side affect for high horsepower aplications but usally produce a much deeper tone due to larger turbos.

this is because piping is usally much larger due to larger turbocharges and dont run many bends.

although the title says HKS SSQV, its incorrect.

personally i hate the high pitched doses, which have been attached to wogs and VLs. but i am madly in love with the noise similar to the 650hp R34 GTR videoed above. would prefer it over a OEM "CHOO" or whistle anyday

the vl boys cut a gap in there intercooler piping to put there afm so that there is no restriction between pod and turbo.

using diffrent lengths and angles of piping gives diffrent pitch noises.

alot of the guys that i went drifting with on the track a while ago had it, sounds sick when your using your accelerator to control the slide.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
