come on guys what do you think??

i know most ppl do not like the sound at all,

and because my standard one cant hold more then 15psi it is time to change to aftermarket. i was thinking hks ssqv but not sure,

what do u guys think,

the flutter or the ppssshhhh or a little squeek??

i am not into the ppsshhhhh or the loud ones anyway i want something that will sound diffrent and not give the 75 year old man walking down the street a heart attack. i want something that looks good and sounds good.

any one got any ideas??

I got the Blitz DD one i think and when u give it enuf it will give the loud PSSSCCCT noise but if u only give it half a boot it does the cool sshsshshhsshshshshs noise.... have the option of both is pretty cool

The 'flutter' is due to no BOV, and the air hitting the compressor wheel in the opposite direction that it is meant to turn (read: not good for turbo).

I'm not a fan loud BOV's; plumb-backs are cheaper and those who don't know anything about cars (all turbos go PSCHHHT, right?) will get a bit of a shock.

you'd actually have to be running some fair amounts of boost for it to be damaging the turbo. Most turbo cars will flutter when a pod filter is put on due to air getting back out the pod - its normal! All my turbo cars have done it... if you want flutter get a pod and an adjustable bov, tighten it right up and voila!

yeah i understand that the air is going back thru the turbo if there is no bov.

and i have a pod and i doget that sound now with the standard bov.

but now because i am getting an aftermarket one and i know there are diffrent sounding bovs.

the type 3 supersonic on a real tight spring will flutter, not the same as if there is no bov but it will go pshhpsshpsshppshpshp.

I have a GFB Stealth FX which can be switched from atmo venting to plumback with the turn of a dial. great bov, highly recomend it!

Steve

I've also got the Stealth FX. It's awesome!! You can get heaps of different sounds out of it by adjusting the spring tension.

It's also good if you want no bov noise, just twist the top and it's a plumback (sounds awesome on plumback too!).

I wouldn't even consider getting any other bov...

I've got the Stealth FX too. Can be handy if you have standard computer and have bad over fueling due to stock ecu sending air that is vented through your aftermarket bov. FX helps this by allowing air to be vented back into the system and to the atmo as well. adjust your ratios and no worries...

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
