Is it just me or do 50% of the people on this site really only want a turbo vehicle for the noise? I like my turbo for the acceleration and find the noises annoying.

Yeah that's true for me <puts hand up> :banana:

The acceleration is a nice added bonus, but I have never boosted my car to its 2nd stage boost (7psi) as I have never revved it past 4,500rpm in normal day to day, point A to B driving. & that's all my car is used for, as a daily drive around Corolla.

Yeah it is... my roommate bought one for his TT supra... I had to drive it to the mechanics last weekend cause he was working... fuvking embarrasing as shit!

What a stupid noise to come out of a car...

You did? from what I remember your 34 had that "whoosh" sound, like the factory BOV with pod ?? not that you revved very hard when I drove along side you.

yeah when you heard it, was when I had the stock bov back on, had a HKS a month or 2 before and the sound got too annoying so ended up smashing the stock back on...

some bov's like the blitz have a little allen key screw which u can tighten and un tighten... tightening this screw will make the spring harder and will not allow the bov to open fully under boost. This will also give you flutter.

Untightening the screw will open it up and give you the normal sound.

Agreed, alot of tosser's just love the sound of it, but "Haaaa Chew Chew Chew" is much better than that quick high pitched squeak those WRXs and EVO's do, f**k man, hearing that shit makes me homocidal.

YES could not agree more i hate the squeaks and whistle sounding ones, worst when you see them at a motorplex trying to drop a skid shit sounds horrid.

i facepalm so hard my nose hurts

I'd rather pull my exhaust apart to find my turbo blades than have that squeak shit.

This in a lower pitch would sound sick. Like, the same pitch as spooling up on a stock RB 32 turbo

(the sound the Supra makes after the burnout, not during the race)

All this talk of flutter pipe dump dosage is making me dizzy.

LOL Krab, are you serious? never taken it over 4500rpm?!

Pretty much, usually I make sure the gear box changes at ~3 to 3.5k rpm. :D

i have a standard BOV with pod filter ad it sounds great. it flutters nice but it can also be quiet when i want :)

and its not illegal :(

+1, also if I drive super granny then theres no sound at all.

i think the dose a stock turbo sounds a bit wierd but still u can change that with the different front pipes u use. i have a rb25 with a top mount gt35/40 and that sounds good dosing and so far i don think its done any damage but i think a bov is healthier for your car but i don see ne skyline or vl turbo being treaded nicely to prolong turbo life neways so just do it =) i dare say u might not like the sound or the engine will run rough with a afm neways so u may have no choice but to put it back standard . doesn hurt to try if ur bored though

just installed my blitz bov (with the little air filter thingy)

sounds awesome, better than the high pitch ssq sound hehe

and better than flutter but yeh, with this bov i can make it so tight it won't open + cause flutter or just let it go PTSHH :ninja: sounds 1337

  • 7 months later...

agreed it is 50/50 whoever u talk to so personal prefrence is the choice in the end.I took off a gfb ppssshhht bov on my 96 180 for flutter and at 1 bar evryday 4 4 years it didnt kill the turbo...

I have a question to any gurus out there if can help,

I just bought a 32 4dr and it is a very good tuned street car and runs a upgraded turbo and tuned power fc with hand controller.My question is will blocking up the standard bov (previous owner kept it not aftermarket 1) "throw out" somehow or interfere with the power fc or not..

Cheers :woot:

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
