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.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
