okay, maybe a stupid question, but can ppl record the sounds of their BOV and make a thread or something relating to bov sounds? that would be so kewl...would be like shopping for noise hehe, coz i must admit i want to get a bov soon, but it would be really kewl if i could hear them before i got it...like try before you buy style hehe...

Good idea!

i have a HKS SSQV on my R32.

I can record to sound for u guys if u like but will have to warn u it will be done by my mobile from and i wont be able to drive and do it unlesss u most likely will get background noise...

What i can do if any1 wants .. Go outside ... Rev the lil ***er over 3500 and see how she goes.

I jjust wanna say its not goin to be the same as u would if u were driving under load .

Theres a start anyway

MSN me on [email protected] and ill send u the file.. if i get interest

you could just save your money, get a stainless Turbo to pod filter pipe made up, and a partition around the pod, and plump back your factory one.

Its a great power mod, and sounds awesome. You can hear my car a mile away, this loud sucking noise, followed by a really deep whooosh back through the pod.

**** the wank off valves.. :flamed:

stock one is already plumbed back, sure you have a nice heat shield and steel pipe but that is irrelevant

I think it sounds like that because he is using a thinkwall stainless pipe, so it make a lot more noise than the standard ones :rofl:

I personally like the sound which is like a high pressure blast of air going down a long metal pipe. "Choooooong~" like the BOV is halfway down a well :(

Heard it once on a VLT, said he was using the standard valves, but I bet he was using all metal pipes since he was a boilermaker and fabricated a lot of it

I've never used an aftermarket BOV but I personally like the stock plumbed BOV when using a pod, FMIC and lotsa boost!

Also ensures you pass inspections by the fuzz no worries. Trust me, people hear my BOV and know i'm coming when it's cranked up :rofl:

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
