Standard Bov & 18psi?

[Haines]

im running 18 spi thru a standard BOV

my problem is it seems to boost quick to 7psi (around 2500 - 3000)

but then take an eternity to get to 18 (at the end of the rev range)

does the standard valave hold 18psi or do i need to mod it ( ive read the threads but still confused)

cheers

There is a DIY Mod in the DIY section about the stocker BOV mod

Its either your actuator not holding (highly likely @ 18psi if your using the stock one, even with an EBC sometimes it just wont hold)

Or the BOV leaking perhaps.

Did Pete at TMS try wiring up the gate shut to see whether it was the BOV and not the gate leaking open?

[Haines]

i just blocked off the bov then and took it for a run

hitting full boost (well as full as the gauge will go) at 4000 now so maybe it was bleeding off boost

back on the dyno i say

just put a GTR item on

problem solved

or even another stocker... there's a little hole on the stock item that you can block to stop bleeding... there's a diy somewhere round here

Did you do this to yours to handle 20psi?

About when does it start to leak boost?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

did this to mine a couple of years ago just for the hell of it.

mine has never leaked @ 20 psi
