ok, i suppose i will give it a shot, if it will help with coming on boost earlier.

i was just more concerened about it casuing damage if not done with any other appropriate mods,

as far as i understand it'll have bad effects on the turbo causing early failure............

The bov still works fine with the grub screw in, all its doing is bypassing air back to the intake so there isnt a huge pressure differential when the bov opens. My car ran fine with it plugged, it also held boost better and this would help the turbo last by bringing shaft speeds down. Why compress all that air then bleed it off if you dont have to, especially if you are trying to hold over 20psi.

Just run a 5mm tap into the 4mm hole and stick a grub screw into it. :thumbsup:

(Wont fix farting noises, that would be either BOV piston seal or manifold to turbo gasket most probably)

If you had some way of tuning the ecu you could try and take out the fuel dump when the bov opens, I think the Emanage can do that to some extent, otherwise no, the air is metered and needs to remain in the system.

Realistically any car with airflow meters can't run atmo, only map sensored cars can which is why the epa made it illegal.

I'm running Aaron's Turbosmart Kompact with the stiff spring at the moment, its quite snappy when backing off but feels good none the less. The stock one was working fine with the grub screw mod but it could be due to the tune.

I ran 19psi on the stock turbo for 4 or 5 months, don't do it unless you are prepared to replace the turbo obviously, although I have a spare here. :whistling:

To run high boost on the stock turbo, or any highflow version of it, you will need one of my modified actuators. That should hold around 15psi and allow over 22psi with a controller. Without the stiffer actuator it wont hold more than 14psi in the top end.

Has anyone actually figured out if this is a BOV problem?

I still have the exact same issue, and Im confident its something to do with the wastegate as you can hear it reverberate right through the exhaust. It literally sounds like its underneath you when driving. If you hold the throttle right when it happens you can make it fart as long as you want. I tried blocking my BOV and still had farts.

To me it sounds like the wastegate isn't opening properly or shuddering. It only farts under medium load. If i floor it it cannot fart - its like it opens properly then, but if im building boost up a hill slowly it happens most of the time....

Surely if it was BOV it would still fart when I floor it. It would fart at the same boost level everytime?

I want to fix this as it shits me!

Benny,

Did you get this sorted, your description is much closer to what my car is doing. Wastegate or BOV?

Chris

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
