well you take off the standard bov, get a flat peice of alloy or type of metal of your choosing cut to the same shape with the holes for the bolts drilled through it, cut some gasket paper and bolt it down in place of the standard bov, then block of the vac line and plumb back line

it will affect your turbo when changing gears, the air will hit the throttle body come back through the compressor blades and slow it down or stall it so you will get more lag when changing gears but you will have a fully sick sounding car......

i have a blocking plate if you want it... i can post it to you for $15.00.

to get the sound your after, you really need a bigger turbo, and a metal intake pipe to the turbo. the air reversion is what makes the noise, which you get with a bigger turbo, the stock rubber pipe cushions it and you can hardly hear it.. which is what its meant to do.

it also makes releasing the throttle, aka on gear changes or after hard accelerating, very very harsh.. especially compared to the standard bov which feels like theres nothing there.

its not worth it in my opinion.. i have only blocked off the bov to run an aftermarket one in a different spot... i kept the original one on for police issues but blocked it.

No you don't, works fine with the standard turbo and a pod filter. he

The main factor I believe to become louder is the amount of boost you run.

I have a GT35R with a metal pipe. On 10PSI (running of the wastegate spring) it wasn't loud at all, at 23 PSI, it's a different story! :laugh:

lol bugger me, everyone I know including myself has just cut out a piece of a beer can and used that to block off the stock BOV! works fine 6 months down the track. Also used a bit of liquid gasket to seal it down nicely.

find someone on crutches and steal the little rubber bit from the bottom or go bunnings :laugh:

NA is better :laugh:

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.

      Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update.

      Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this

      For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
