I had blocked mine temporarily, it ran fine and dosed pretty damn good and costed zero. Ended up reverting to stock when the novelty wore off. bovs in general usually cause issues.

fixed.

I have the Turbo Smart BOV that was suppose to go in there.

Consider a floating valve BOV if you're stock one is gone.

I found the Turbosmart Kompact completely the wrong choice for this engine.

We have an electronic throttle which operates slowly, meaning the bov needs to be super responsive to + and - pressures.

My car shuddered hugely on decel with the Kompact, as many others too.

Springs are too stiff and outlet orifice is too small.

Keep stock one unless you plan to run higher boost.

Just put in a manual boost-t and eliminate the factory solenoid bleed system to get a better response and a couple more psi

Hmm interesting, looks like i'll be leaving the BOV situation for now until I pull the turbo out.

 

Anyways pulled my headlights apart yesterday and gave them a well needed polish and painted the chrome inserts, have to say i'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Looks good, you baked the headlight?

Thanks mate!

Was going to but ended up just taking my time and using a heat gun instead, definitely helps to have another person.

Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.

Yep chasing more power , plus the dyson noise is starting to drive me nuts. Already spoken to hypergear and i'm pretty keen to get it done now its just a matter of finding the time to pull it and send it off.

[admS15]

Lol. Yeah it's got a dyson animal stick in it mate.

Didn't Steve tells you about Scotty Customs? Just another option with hi-flow.

Yeah he did mention something about another bloke doing high flows, is there much difference from the hypergear?

I'm not sure as i have never use either services. You can get more information about your Stag on Facebook as well, there are a few of us there, just search M35 Stagea. Most people prefer to answer questions on FB as it's easier for them.

I'm sure i will speak to Scott at Scotty Customs when i get hold of my Stag, need to upgrade the OEM radiator and maybe a few more things when i'm ready.

[joshm35]

Lol all rumours..... [emoji41] but yes ill most likely be going the RS road in the future

Definitely sounds a lot better, just need one of Scott's front pipes now and the exhaust side of thing is sorted.
