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

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.

so wat happens 2the compressed air if u remove da bov?

[Craved]

so wat happens 2the compressed air if u remove da bov?

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.

so its no good 4da turbo 2remove da bov?

big debate on whether it is or it isn't

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

my thoughts, are if it had it, then keep it or upgrade it if you can ..

[assyrian4evaa]

yeh i think i'll just keep it then bcoz theres no point as u said so thanx 4all dis info mate
