Short answer: BAD...

Don't do it!!

BOV is there for a reason. To allow the pressurised air to NOT hit back onto the turbo compressor wheel. Over time it may cause damage to the fins.

Why on earth would you want the "flutter sound" anyway?? I hope it’s not to sound "cool" :banana:

Lol, this topic again?

50% of the world will say its bad, the other 50% will say it isnt. Personally i think it sounds awesome, but at the same time i fully agree with Adam, i dont see how it cant be bad for the turbo. Its compressor surge, spinning the turbine backwards, it can not be good. If you didnt need a BOV, why would anyone have them?

The sound of flutter/dose is awesome. Love it.

It will kill a ceramic turbo like stock R32, R33, R34, S13-S15 turbo's. Won't kill steel turbo's like single VG30 turbo's or RB30ET turbo's.

Flutter at 10psi is ok, but if you are running 14+ psi through a RB20/25 turbo it will kill the turbo

THANK YOU!

farken hell...

I blocked off my BOV ages ago as it was leaking and I kept it like that as it sounds better then an atmo bov and is still legal...

Boost (on standard turbo (presumadely)) is now at 1 bar and it's been like that for a while... turbo still isn't dead.

Either way, overheating and general miscare of the turbo will destroy, fluttering can be a part of this but not a main part...

    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent. 
    • Out of curiosity, how do officials determine what the OEM ride height and suspension specs are? Do they have a book of truth? I'd think that would be quite obscure knowledge for random JDM cars.
    • This is the check list they sign off on. This implies that adjustable coilovers of the type we're referring to are not a "Variable Ride Height" system. This very much is in the ethos of "I can change the height while moving/while parked without pulling wheels off the car and mechanically doing so"
    • Just an update  ... Put the cat back on no issues with the car running wise ... maybe alittle longer to spoil up the turbo. Still running rich but waiting for my tuner to come back into town to retify the situation. WOT runs fine with the cat.
