cant believe im actually replying....but

BOV's dont "flutter" the "choof", like a sneeze

That flutter sound is caused by compressor surge, i.e. BOV isnt doing its job of flowing boost when the throttle is shut, and the air pushing its way back into the compressor

You cant try removing ur BOV and blanking it off

yeh, thats not a BOV, they have just blocked off the hole on the intake pipe where the BOV normally sits.

makes the air travel back through the turbo instead of into the atmosphere

the noise is made from the turbo fins chopping up the air and then its pushed out through the pod filter

its not the best for your turbo but prevents intake pressure drop between gear changes

i did this in my 33.... it sounded unreal... scared shitloads of people and just plum sounded tuff.... but it made the thing soooo hard to drive... alright when on the limit... but just cruising, gear changes were made soo much harsher and the shock to the driveline was quite violent when releasing the throttle. it didnt take long for the turbo to shit itself either. afms dont like it much either.

and it was only a weekend car... not a daily.

not a good idea... a good plumb back and metal tubing will make a nice enough sound.

if you do though, it sounds better if you get a hard pipe to the turbo, it will sound better than the rubber one.

cheers
