Ok guys, I know we have been through this before and after spending the last two hours searching old posts I still have two questions, Back when I was young and had rice in my veins I brought a HKS ssq bov for my R33 gtst and have finally decided to look at putting it on ( 3 years later) My questions are:

1. All those guys who complain about stalling and running rough, do they have aftermarket computers on there cars or are they still running factory?, I have a power fc so am I correct in thinking that this will eliminate all the over fuelling and stalling problems?

2.When people speak of impeller flutter , is this caused by a plumb back type bov, so vent to atmo will mean that no air is being forced back in to the turbo?And if i put this valve on am i going to be up for a new turbo down the track?

3. I heard of a kit available for the HKS ssq bov to change it to a plum back setup as I do not want to attract too much attention, has any one heard of these and are they available in australia?

Once again sorry if I am going over old ground, any help is appreciated.

1. Only seems to happen to some.... Never had a problem my self

2. Massive boost running plumb back will cause flutter... Slight flutter can be heard at 10psi + but little flutter in not harsh....

3. if you bought a ssq... then use it properly... RRRRRRMMMMMMM chiiii

I have a S2 R33 with an HKS ssq.I have no problems with it.There is also an HKS EIDS ( idle stabilizer ) piggy backed to the ecu, so this helps idle issues.

Other than that, there is a adaptor in the BOV to make a flutter sound, this is not wastegate flutter ( i assume this is what you are concerned about. ).

I am unsure as to the cause of wastegate flutter, I assume a plumbback would not incur this, but I could be wrong, I assume a plumback will go before turbo so shouldn't affect WGF.

I have no issues with my turbo, I t has had the BOV installed for the 1 1/2 years I have owned it.

Sorry not to be of more help.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
