Lol Funky, that's the one. So there's no way to get rid of the surge? I either have to live with it or get a stock bov?

My bov was leaking so that's why I replaced. And how bad is this for the turbo? Is it just bouncing around in the pipes or would it actually hurt the turbo?

I've noticed it pop sometimes but is that just flames or is that a small backfire? (backfire's shocks would hurt the turbo...)

Edit: I'll try to upload a video of the sound it makes and how it's set up this friday as well.

It wasn't, I bought it from Repco in NZ. Not everyone can afford to spend $500 on a blow off valve. Especially when it's not needed yet.

Well my mechanic advised me that the stock one was leaking.

If it doesn't hurt the turbo then I don't really care what it sounds like, but that's my main concern. If this is what it's meant to sound like then that's fine with me.

Thank you for all your support and input everyone. :P

I have been running my blocked off BOV on my RB25DET for about 2 years now and no problems what so ever.....still running the same stock turbo and 12psi through it daily mate.....

If your after a BOV then i have a GFB Stealth FX up for sale mate.....PM me if your interested.....

If you are certain this is a surge sound, I am guessing your BOV is incorrectly installed.

OR

Are you positive your stock one was leaking? Perhaps it was actually the vacuum line leading to it (leaking/disconnected), hence the new BOV isn't opening.

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
