BOV noise

[BATMBL]

i really want to know what blow off valve makes that really mad whistle noise with a bit of psshht in it, it sounds realy futuristic, like a cyborg or something. i first heard it on a wrx with number plates legit, which i think a lady at jetspeed owns and it has chameleon paint.

anyone know if it could be the hks ss??

Correct me if i'm wrong, but everyone who is chasing this flutter noise is going to do damage to their turbo from chopping the returned air in the long run... doesn't make an entire lot of sense just to sound cool...

And, with the plumb back factory BOV the car will run better anyway. The price you pay for fashion?

Just my 2 cents.

Flutter is not good in the long run, correct.

This kinda makes sense I think... Is it because the factory bov produces less lag?

Sorry, I have to disagree entirely. It sounds like fingernails being scraped down a chalkboard.

I have an R32 GTST with a Turbosmart Type II V-port BOV fitted and it only makes that flutter noise when you're not fully on boost and you let off the accelerator.... i agree its a good sound tho.

My BOV cost $280+$45 for RB20DET attachment plate. I reckon on my particular car it sounds to be the best BOV ive heard in a while.... it has so many personalities... but they are a bit of a handracer accessory hehe

most turbos with BOVs will make a flutter at low boost unless the BOV spring is really loose. This is okay apparrently, as at low boost the turbos not spinning so fast as to cause worry about damage. Then at high boost, your BOV will take over.

I love fluttering around town, people look, but it doesnt look like your after too much attention unlike a hard boost in 1st followed by a massive BOV- can be a bit too show-offy at times.

Fluttering is stoopad.

My bov flutters all the time.
