Consider a floating valve BOV if you're stock one is gone.

I found the Turbosmart Kompact completely the wrong choice for this engine.

We have an electronic throttle which operates slowly, meaning the bov needs to be super responsive to + and - pressures.

My car shuddered hugely on decel with the Kompact, as many others too.

Springs are too stiff and outlet orifice is too small.

Keep stock one unless you plan to run higher boost.

Just put in a manual boost-t and eliminate the factory solenoid bleed system to get a better response and a couple more psi

Hmm interesting, looks like i'll be leaving the BOV situation for now until I pull the turbo out.

 

Anyways pulled my headlights apart yesterday and gave them a well needed polish and painted the chrome inserts, have to say i'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Looks good, you baked the headlight?

Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.

Yep chasing more power :banana:, plus the dyson noise is starting to drive me nuts. Already spoken to hypergear and i'm pretty keen to get it done now its just a matter of finding the time to pull it and send it off.

Didn't Steve tells you about Scotty Customs? Just another option with hi-flow.

Yeah he did mention something about another bloke doing high flows, is there much difference from the hypergear?

I'm not sure as i have never use either services. You can get more information about your Stag on Facebook as well, there are a few of us there, just search M35 Stagea. Most people prefer to answer questions on FB as it's easier for them.

I'm sure i will speak to Scott at Scotty Customs when i get hold of my Stag, need to upgrade the OEM radiator and maybe a few more things when i'm ready.

Our Ceramic ball bearing system Vs traidional bush.

Easy installation working with OEM lines and restrictors Vs sump dropping and restrictor drilling.

326awkws vs 309awkws

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
