Hey guys

Just a question out of curiosity.

Just for fun to see what it sounded like, I took off and blocked the vacuum line to the BOV to see what it noise would come out. But all i got was the standard gush noise through the pod filter. Last few cars i did this with I got the "fully sick VL turbo flutter" :P.

What does this actually mean? If there a leak or issue somewhere? Stupid topic, i know but got me wondering.

thanks!!

Removing the vacuum line will help keep the valve closed. Whether it leaks is another matter.

no the pressure in the intake pushes the valve open because it is greater then what's above it

Actually they're not that bad, a bit of molly lube on the stem of the valve helped my stock rb20 recirculation valve hold close to 30 psi

I've had a few, i noticed it on all. I tried a few things like what turbosmart suggest.

I am using an automatic, so it could be more pronounced because of this.

Nope. Boost pressure from the manifold helps keep it closed.

Removing the line makes it leak on boost, meaning the turbo has to work harder.

Oh shit I have, bruh youse need to take off ya stock bov, cut up your favourite aluminium can and make a blanking plate using that. Then drill two holes and sandwich it between your BOV and BOV 2x bolt flange.

Fully sick ulleh, dose for days and make betches drop their panties

I understand what you're saying, but the vacuum created when the throttle plate closes acts against the spring in the valve to open it, remove the vacuum line and the spring pressure alone is enough to keep the valve closed, or should be.

When I replaced my turbo I made up a pvc plug and pressure tested the intake, after I lubed the stem it easily held 20 psi

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
