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 :thumbsup:

all it will do is cause is over fuelling on changes. Some times enough to try and stall when puttering around shops tho.

My Ceffy has a wicked dose I love hard intake pipes with no bov. Bovs are gay leave them to rice boys with there shopping list.

Vls are by far the dose kings though. Mine fluttered hard!

way to bring up a post thats a year old.

i can say, when i passed pits i stuck a rock between the vacum line to my hks bov stopped making noise and worked a treat to pass pits, and i didnt notice any difference apart from gay squeekyness gone.

also my mate dropped 10g's at C-RED gt3540, 6boost mani, 800cc, haltech, etc etc on his r32 rb25 and they told him not to run a bov.. tho he is running a nice big plummed back gate.

.. 400awhp (has the smaller gt3540 rear housing)

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
