the flutter sound is the rush of pressure back to the turbo and the resonation in the cooler.... cause its not releasing... and its trying to find a way out, and so the only way it is through the air filters... Alot of people will give u theories as to whether this is bad for ur turbo or not - in the long term it is bad

its definately not the wrong BOV, i know plenty of guys wit a dual chamber one u have, clearly the BOV is blocked, thus the noise i mentioned above

r u sure u cant adjust it by turning it with like a wrench?

The vacuum hose must go to the plenum between the throttle body and #4 inlet runner, there is a port there for it, if that is connected, then the bov is probably stuck, just dismantle it, clean it all up and rub any marks or rough spots with 1000 grit wet and dry sandpaper.

You shouldn't need to do this to a new BOV. Never use sandpaper on this internals, you will wreck it.

Is that an adapter plate that came with the BOV?

Someone asked a similar question once, and it ended up being a blocking plate that the new BOV was bolted to.

Stupid suggestion, but it was stupid last time too! ;o)

Oh, and you're not getting any less power, right? It's building actual boost over the "0" mark on the stock guage, yeah?

No im not getting any less power, i dismantled the bov nothing is wrong in there, no that adaptor didnt come with the bov i made it, people wanted to charge me $130 for them to make it so i just did it myself cost me $5, and an hour of my time, the bov has 3 vacume house's coming out of it top, middle bottom, the bottom is for a boost gauge so i blocked it off the top is where i assume the Vacume house from the manifold goes (same house the stock one had) and the middle is hooked up to the same chamber i had blocked off.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
