Theres nothing wrong with 'dosing' and it won't wreck your turbo, as long as you're not being like a VL driving dickhead and deliberately stuffing around with your intake piping to get the most ridiculous noise possible.

I had a Turbosmart Atmo BOV originally fitted on mine, which got a lot of cop hassles, so went for a standard BOV blocked off, and it sounds a LOT better than a standard recirc BOV, which again sounds better than one of those utterly gay need for speed style SSQV's.

i have a 2835 with a stainless induction setup, but in a cold air box with a CAI.... when i blocked off the bov to rule it out as a possible leak, it made the full on VLT dose.....

put that bov back on REAL quick....! :)

dude... the Polarizer was the part which made the HDT's so special! That and having to run 22psi in the tyres for it to work, and not tampering with or removing it, so that the positive vibrations could flow throughout the car and turn a family sedan into a track warrior! I'm still hanging out to drive a Polarizer equipped HDT to feel the awesomeness :blink:

I dose all day all night on 18PSI, haven't seen the turbo die yet. Stock intake pipe, stock crossover pipe, GReddy TypeS BOV wound in so hard I might has well not have it there.

and no, I didn't use a HKS SSQV, that has no effect to dosing, unless the piston snapped and the BOV is now not functiuonal

dose ftw.

no BOV, big front mount, steel pipe off the turbo. the loud high pitched dose is normally curteousy of a 2.5" straight pipe straight off the turbo, when you start adding bends, and go to bigger pipes, the sound normally gets deeper.

the AFM being moved to the cooler piping is to stop stalling from the air reverberating through the AFM

What the hell is that noise? I've heard it twice now, both times from VLs. Is it some tricked out BoV?

If you ask me I think it sound ridiculous. My girlfriend was in hysterics for about 10min as we drove beside this thing.

Thanks.

i dont see how its so funny? it sounds mint

To the ignorant it sounds like a really wimpy/silly sound to come out of what looks like a tough car.

Like WRXs and EVO's, except they look like a girl's ride with girly ricey sneezies.

Do agree though, that fully hektik sound doesnt match the VLs. Something you'dexpect from Jap imports?

lol they are morons then.

+1

if that's all you're buying the car for then... fail.

ive had mine blocked off for a while now, doesn't make high pitched noises, just a clean whoosh sorta flutter. reason why i have it is that i noticed through hills/track, when changing gears it holds more pressure in the pipe and you get faster spool in to next gear but only high up in the revs as the air gets trapped and not released straight away.

lots of people say different things, this is just form personal experience.

here is my old car fluttering and doing its thing.

fluttered the entire two years that i had it. absolutely no damage to the car/turbo whatsoever. it fluttered so loud because of numerous induction mods and very high boost. factory blow off valve gave up but replaced with an aftermarket plumb back.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: wrxhoon@yahoo.com I'm not on this forum much .
