most turbo cars come fitted with factory ones, i know on my r33 before i modify it when the pressure plate is closed i hear a little wheeeeeesh , sounds rather pathetic but it comes factory standard , its just the ones with the loud PSSSHHT that are illegal as someone said , due to ' environment reasons' if 1 person considers the sound offensive (including your fridge making too much noise) it can be then considered offensive under the epa acts in various states, i know it varies and some it doesnt so check with ur state but in WA i havent been questioned too much about mine, maybe its more strict in some states

Stooj - in my previous post I meant external BOV. Stock ones vent back into the system.

Gerro cops are pretty bored hey? I've had cops round here look under the bonnet - get confused and give up. Another one - whilst giving me a fine - asked me if he should have a look under the bonnet. I said - no officer, it's all legal under there - he said - ok - and left it at that! :D

sumna, the RB20 bov is f'in loud almost all the time no matter what condition its in, especially if you have a pod filter. Was it really sensitive too? go off just feathering the throttle?

I replaced mine with a much quieter atmo venting bov (Thats not a typo). However ive still silenced this one, coz the noise is plain wanky.

    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   IMG_1267.mov 7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov B31A1E84-C63C-433F-B910-1A09DBAE2107.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
    • Slap it and say it ain't going no where, you'll be fine.
    • So the whole rb25de neo setup was a tiptronic setup and i swapped everything over to my rb20de neo setup and yes even the cluster of the rb25 was swapped over. 
    • and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾
