if your getting a surge , hmm have you tried loosen the screw?? to make it softer...

[Adriano]

Can you plumb it back

[Nasedo]

Can't plumb it back since it's an atmo bov, and yes i've tried adjusting the pressure screw on it. Any ideas?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yes, put the stock one back on

[Cjmartz2k]

yes, put the stock one back on

Agree. And stop worrying about the cute little noise your turbo makes when you let up on the go pedal.

or u can block it off completly and get a nice dose like some of us do sutututu

[RB25PWR]

how bad, if at all... is blocking it off completely? the pressure has to go somewhere?

[funkymonkey]

looks kinda like a generic GFBish jigger. plumb it back.

just use the stock bov!

stupid BOV noise.. ew

[Nasedo]

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.

Are you sure the stocker was leaking?

[Cjmartz2k]

It won't hurt the turbo. Enjoy the sound.

[R31Nismoid]

I thought you said it wasnt a ebay special!

[Nasedo]

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.

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.....

Thats what it looks like....and its got an option of either plumb back or atmo...

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.
