There is no performance gain from leaving the bov off your car.

When you remove the bov the boosted air that would normally be discharged through the bov when the throttle body is shut, now has nowhere to go, so it bounces backwards and forwards between the throttle body and the turbo wheel, which we know as "flutter". This is the same as turning your kitchen tap on full then quickly turning it off, you get reverberation in the pipes.

In low pressure situations this "flutter" can slow down the turbo wheel, in extreme situations it can stop the wheel from spinning and even undo the exhaust wheel nut.

Exhaust wheels (Turbine wheels) do not have nuts.

They are fused to the shaft, And the compressor wheel is reverse thread.

Its more likely to sheer the shaft and snap it in half which i have seen ;)

A Mate did that on his r34 gt-t and 30min later a friendly police man was popping the bonnet thinking he had a aftermarket BOV.

maybe if you get an RB26, the same exhaust, the same turbo, the same everything...

as far as the actual flutter goes, it sounds the same as most fluttering....the rest of the noise is where its at....want that? get an R34 GTR and start spending

Ive taken off my bov once before to see what the fuss was all about. I did make my car sound like that only when the turbo chokes itself on 17 pounds of boost. The noise hurts because you can feel it eating your turbo lol. It does sound like shit on the stock turbo at stock boost.

Does anyone have the BOV cd? Or a cd with BOV sounds?

I don't even get a pssch, let alone flutter.

Consider yourselves lucky. I have once had a girl ask me where the "little pssch" sound was.

LOL.....damn man.......tough luck

I hope to god you never own an R34 GTR.

it seems like fewer and fewer ppl among these forums know less and less about sarcasm and jokes.......

now that i think about it i may not get a r34 gtr......dats if theres something else ill fancy in the furture.....other then taht the logical step up from a 34 gtt is the gtr :D

nehoo hey Blitz how long ago did u inspect the HKS r34 in japan?

      New Stegea Owner

      Ya thankfully I've been able to drive it, it's pretty fun however I noticed yesterday while driving to work that my left side of the car is very wobbly, like any bump I go over it jolts the whole vehicle and pulls the steering wheel, I kicked the wheel a few times once I got home and it's a very distinct metal on metal clunk, so I guess I need to take a look at my suspension, maybe it's a control arm bushing or tie rod

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      With Tyroola, they're probably 10 years old. It's already pretty clear that they've given the job of copywriting their adverts to an artificial stupidity (which could be a Year 9 dropout, or someone recently arrived to Oz with almost no English).

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Absolutely! I've been in love with them since I was a kid. I remember doing a school essay on Humvee's back in grade 5 haha. I always wanted one, but didn't have the space nor the funds. With us now looking for another larger home with a larger garage, I'll have room to park it. They have also gone down considerably in price. The US army has been phasing out Humvee's, so they're flooding the market which also brings down H1 prices.  It shouldn't be a problem to drive around here, I live in the suburbs. I would absolutely not buy one if I lived in a city though. They are known to be terribly unreliable. People often swap out the original 6.2/6.5L for a more reliable Duramax.  H1 and Humvee's are identical, minus the fact that the H1 has a dash and seats. It sadly also makes the H1 more expensive. I've driven both and the Humvee interior, or lack thereof makes it extremely loud and unpleasant to drive. Don't get me wrong, the H1's interior is horrendous, but at least it's present. Most do a custom interior in a Humvee which I'm also more than happy to purchase.

      Then I realised it was just a typo. I was hoping for a set of Pirellys for my 5 series.
