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.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
