a wastegate makes no noises. you have an internal wastegate'd turbocharger. fitting an external wastetgate achieves nothing. if you want vl turbo flutter or compressor surge then block off your bov or remove it completely

you most certainly have not by reading what you have just posted, you dont know how a wastegate (internal or external) works :P

If you read www.howstuffworks.com

You would find that a wastegate is not, and has nothing, to do with compressor surge cause by the non-fitment of a BOV.

This has been covered many many times before.

that caused the "flutter" or compressor surge

the air is compressed up against the closed throttle, then has to go somewhere, so it heads for the only opening it has ... back through the turbo... that moving air is "chopped" up by the compressor wheel of the turbo .. creating flutter as the air leaves the air filter/pod

normally it would go through the BOV and get either released to the atmosphere, or back into the piping before the turbo.

big debate on whether it is or it isn't

VL turbo dont have them std .. skylines all do ..

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
