Could it be the farting BOV problem or have you already replaced the BOV?

It was a problem on mine and replacing the part cured it but yours could be something different.

HTH,

Jas

It will most likely be the BOV Rudi. Try sliding a sheet of coke can under the bov as a test, it will make completely different noises then. Zutututu. :)

All the ones I have here do the same thing, it's just play in the plastic disk that causes it I think. The Turbosmart Kompact plumb back works well if you want to upgrade, or perhaps a GTR BOV would work?

If you have driven one with the BOV blocked you may change your mind, it can ruin the part throttle response and make the car jolt badly, mainly when dropping off boost.

As there is nothing stopping the compressor, and no purge, you will get boost spiking, perhaps up to 50psi in the intake. This can cause pipes to split or pop off, as well as damaging the turbo. Just not worth it imo, other than the stupid noises that scare the chicks away...

+11ty billion!

The sound of it zutututututututututututuing it's head off drove me mad in about a minute & a half when I was troubleshooting with it blocked off.

And as Scotty says; the car feels like shit with it blocked off, to say nothing of the potential damage.

I must be getting old; cos I would have sold my sould for that noise when I was 20. :domokun:

I've got a shim made up if you'd like me to post it out to you Rudi, then you can at least eliminate it as a potential fault. ;)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
