BOV/SAFC2 Questions

[Lazy-Bastard]

Hi All,

Please excuse the n00bity.....

I have a couple of questions relating to the Turbosmart Type 2 BOV (V port I believe) that is fitted to my car.

I'll preface with a quick rundown on the car (which I have recently purchased, all mods already done - previously owned by a member of this forum)

R33 GTST - Above BOV - Unifilter Pod - EBC set to 10psi - cat back exhaust - SAFC2

Questions:

1. If I replace the Turbosmart BOV with the stock one (I like to keep a low profile :Oops: ), am I going to have to get the SAFC2 retuned? (apparently it was tuned on a dyno with current setup). If so, I will probably hold off on this action as the purchase price + insurance + rego has drained the fundage for the moment.

The Turbosmart has a "hard - soft" adjustment. Atm it goes off even at lowish RPM, even under 3000 (when I presume the turbo isn't developing boost). I know if I ease off the throttle rather than lift off normally it wont go off, but I don't think I should have to compromise my driving style just for the sake of a BOV.

2. If I set it to a "harder" setting, will this force it to go off only at higher RPM?

If the answer to question 1 is a definite NO, would anyone be interested in swapping the Turbosmart for a stock BOV? (with slight cash adjustment)

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

no you wont need a retune unless u get stalling problems, which u shouldnt with the stock one, but even so thats just a minor idle air adjustment

yes mking the spring harder will make it go off at later rpm, i set mine to hardest so that it only goes off when its hitting boost as that pratically the only time u dont want the 'flutter' as it will damage the turbo

hope dat helps
