Firstly I apologies if this has been covered but either my search function sucks balls or I just can't find anything on the topic?

Ok so my exhaust is a 3" turbo back job but has a custom screamer pipe and a blocked bov for dose

Neither of these things appeal to me

The car has a td05 turbo gtr injectors FMIC and a few other goodies making about 210rwkw at 1bar

The reason I say this is I have 2 questions

Will a stock bov set up either still blocked or plumbed in properly be ok on these boost levels? am I going to loose any power or have more lag or response yadayada,

Looking for a slightly more legal and city friendly sound. I actually don't mind the flutter but yea anyway.

And the other question is what's the best way to plumb both of these things in properly? I know the screamer needs to enter the exhaust system before the cat.

The screamer makes sence to me but I'm not even sure if my blocked bov is a stock unit? Pick below.

Sorry I will also add that I have a limited understanding of the pipe work, how much would a shop slug me without being dicks to remove the screamer pipe and plumb it in?

Thanks in advance for the help and sorry if theirs a million threads already existing.

Stock BOV it is . Just use some hose of that size, or source the original hard pipe from a wreck to connect the BOV outlet back to the turbo inlet. Depending on what needs to be done to your turbo inlet to hook that up, this should cost from not a lot to not a lot more.

Exhaust shop should be able to connect the screamer back into the dump at the bottom bend for not a lot. Almost beer money.

Oh, by the way, the stock BOV is the best thing to have on the car for response. And it will be perfectly fine at 1 bar boost.

That is the stock BOV, they just whacked a cup over the end to seal it off. Take that off and get that line plumbed infront of your turbo, in your intake pipe. What ECU do you have btw? Do you have an AFM?

I would leave the BOV and get rid of the screamer. That one will get you into big shit.

you can buy a JJR bellmouth dump pipe for $180 which will fix your screamer problem, id rather do that than plumb in the screamer... the bellmouth works best on a stock sort of setup

reconnect the stock bov as its just capped off. buy the stock hoses and pipes from a wrecker. stock bov good to over 20psi no worries (1.5 bar)

Ok I'm going to fly my noob flag a little bit.

I buy the stock solid hose and that goes from my bov to.... Is their another blocked off hose point somewhere?

Also a new bellmouth dump pipe what size are they? Do I need a larger one?

can post a pic of the intake/turbo side of engine, as you say it has a TD05 so the piping may have been changed, if the stock intake pipe is still in place then there will be a port to plumb it back into.

if the TD05 turbo has the standard T25 flange setup them just buy the dump pipe as stated already, pic of screamer from turbo would help with advise aswell

agreed i forgot to take notice that you have a TD05, you may need to retain the custom dump unless your TD05 has the standard sort of dump pipe pattern.

please take a photo of your turbo and plumbing on that side and post.

Is that screamer just pressed into the WG outlet? Jeeezus Christ!

The dump and screamer are nasty enough that I would replace them rather than keep them. But yes, as above, it could just be joined back in and it would work*.

*by work I mean just as well as it does now, but without the shitful noise.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
