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.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
