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.

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
