compression surge is not healthy unless u live in vic and drive a VL ? and go to bell st maccers

stock plumb back bov ftw!

LOLLz

but yeh,,stok bov's are shyt,,get a stocky r33 gtr one

You may wind up stalling it everytime you pull up at a roundabout or lights... but go for it.. i thought it was awesome fun when i first tried it... and refitting it costs nothing...

dunno if it will root ur turbo though after prolonged use...

??

I've found a stock BOV with the internal bleed hole made 50% smaller gives a great comprimise between sound and surge. Blocking it completely, surges too much in higher gears on the highway and makes tons of noise. Also try getting a pod, makes much more sound.

Yes it will after a while and you will get increased lag.

Correct, but if you have a bov set to loose then it can also cause stalling. If you have a bov and tighten the spring in it then it will only open on high pressure, so you can get flutter with only a small amount of boost. savvy?

bro, jus get an fmic. after i put one on my car it made a flutter on high boost..nothin special but makes for some funny times

If you don't have a fmic, or at less a highflow side mount and you have a t04e then you're crazy.

I was told that it will cause turbo damage over a period of time.

thanks boys thats awsome but i love that massive flutter sound i might look into it a bit more and get back to ya .

also without the bov . dose it matter that its externaly gated ?

if you no what i mean ?

cheers

Then don't use one, but it will cause damage over time. As for the BOV being externally gated....are you talking about the BOV or wastegate?? If you have a BOV venting to atmosphere then yes it is illegal. You can have an external gated turbo, which has a wastegate on exhaust manifold, to be legal that has to be plumbed back into your exhaust system further down.

I was told that it will cause turbo damage over a period of time.

yes.

I don't think you can win either way, best going with what drives you least crazy listening to over and over again.

I hear ya rob. I've been ''dosing'' for about 18months, and my mechanic has aswell for YONKS, with absolutely NO damage. So the whole argument about its 'fulleybadforurturbo'is BS.

I switch between bov and dosing. It just gets boring :P .

sorry about that i ment that the turbo is externialy gated and why is it that if you run a bov into atomo , its illegal ?

Anything that vents gases into the atmosphere is illegal.

Wategates are only legal if they plumb back into your exhaust (if it doesnt plumb back its called a screamer pipe and that makes it illegal)

Same goes for bov, If it is plumbed back into your pipe work its legal (if it doesnt plumb back into your pipe work and just releasles into the atmosphere it illegal)

Does that make sense ? ? ?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
