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...

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
