i have a standard blow off valve on my 33 and it makes a flutter sound and im thinking this isnt good. its always done it, it sounds great, and im running 10 pound boost with standard cooler.

is this eventually going to kill my turbo?

if so does it normally take long and how can i fix the problem?

i also have a pod filter, but it used to do it before i installed the pod

Mate your just abotu to open a Can of worms :D

In my opinion, everything is fine .. that is just your waste gate making that noise, the noise will become louder with the addition of a pod filter (im led to believe)

Im running No BOV on my car, and it make the waste gate flutter constantly.

People will inform you that doing this will destroy your turbo and make your car slower due to the turbo having to spool up even more between gear changes.

But from my knowledge and experience., this is very minor. yes it will slow my turbo down by maybe a second max

and yes it will kill my turbo maybe 3 weeks earlier then when its ment to die.

but i feel considering im stock, its really a much of a nothing.

The BOV releases back pressure from behind the turbo, so your turbo only spins 1-way at all times.

So without it you'll have air going through and air trying to force it's way back out via your turbo and engine etc, as you can tell it wouldn't be a great thing on the turbo sharft etc.

As for it dieing who knows, all I know is that overall it's a bad thing to allow back pressure back thru the turbo.

Its also a bad thing to let hot air back through your turbo, which is what Plumback BOVs do.

Its also Illeagle to run an Atmo BOV

Its also Bad to run a Atmo BOV as they Leak and you will look boost pressure.

So in the End its a much of nothing.

I personally wouldnt worry about much considering your Running stock.

When you run a bigger Turbo or boost up your pressurem then maybe you should re-visit this problem.

Untill then, any of the three methods are fine, in my opinion.

:D

yer, as soon as i put my FMIC on the stock bov was fluttering but it was still runnin stock boost, i then put it up to 10psi and i bought the GFB Hybrid bov which is atmo and plumback...but as they said if ur runnin stock shouldnt be much to worry bout...

cheers...ben.

Indeed a can of worms...but where did you get the idea it was making the flutter noise from the wastegate...especially if one had an internal gate?

I'll let you figure this one out yourself folks, nothing to do with the wastegate given you know what a wastegate does.

Gaving Woods told me so ... and apparently Gavin Woods is god so what he says goes!

:D:)

And if it isnt my 'Stock Internal Gate' then it will be one of the following..

Air going the wrong way back through the impeller (No doubt its this)

Ive also been told its air exitign the wrong way back out my POD Filter (Go Figure)

:D

It's both. The noise from your turbo tends to come out the pod. Think of a trumpet. The noise is really coming from your mouth, but you hear it at the other end.

The reason why many people think it's the pod making the noise is again similar to the trumpet analogy. A standard airbox does a good job of muffling the sound, but the pod is more like a trumpet and tends to amplify it (or at least not quieten it down).

This has been discussed many times here, people should learn to search.

yeh itl be fine i had no BOV on my s13 for about a year or so on stock T25G turbo running 1 bar with big cooler, i had no problems with it.

you will find that big HP cars running good quality Atmo BOVs, they dont let air out at low revs/low boost anyway, they will flutter quite loudly too. since the pressure of air that is being generated isnt even enough to open the BOV, and thus not enough to realy do much harm to the turbo or to acceleration between gears. however, when they really get going running like 1bar + of boost, then the BOV opens.

so really unless u have a big turbo/big boost a BOV isnt vital. however if u eventualy upgrade ur turbo and run much more boost its probably good to install a plumbback BOV. beter safe than sorry and pple will argue either way but basically the plumback shouldnt do any harm and will help throttle response under big boost, say top of 2nd or 3rd feathering the throttle a plumbback would assist in keeping a big boost/big turbo spinning well

but for general driving at stockish lowish boost levels theres no problem having no BOV. plus wen ur really giving ur car shit u usualy shift fast, thus the BOV barely even has time to open anyway.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
