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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
