haha, shows how busy I am at work :rofl:

Your turbo will be fine, there will be no damage to the shaft or bearings. The amount of pressure going back through the turbo is nothing. There is no proof that it wont die becasue there is no proof that it does damage, lol :laugh:

The sound is already starting to piss me off (As well as having to fight off teh chicks) so I'm taking out the home made gasket and am going back to the stock plumb back.

It was fun while it lasted but I cannot afford to screw my turbo or have too many chicks chasing me cause i got a gf and I'm saving up to do a bit upgrade and i don't want to screw around fixing shit.

i have a turbonetics raptor bov on my s1 gtst and it makes the flutter noise sounds great

and as of yet have not had any problems with the turbo or engine. bov not plumbed back tho - just vents to atmosphere.

i think this bov uses a different type of plunger to most conventional bov's, and gives it a cool unique sound

My blow off valve was blocked when i bought the car and hadn't worried about doing anything about it; until this morning. I decided to unblock it to see the difference... and i'm glad i did. The car drives so much smoother now! I had no idea that it would make such a large difference. In my opinion the issue isn't whether or not it will damage your turbo... but the loss of drivability. Plus the flutter gets annoying after a while... its loud even when driving off-boost below 3000rpm.

by doing that u are forcing all the air back through the turbo as it has nowhere to go this is called compressor surge and that is why the stock vehicle has a BOV it is bad the fluttering is the sound of air being chopped by a turbo that is slowing down. at least thats what i read my 32 has the flutter sound i installed a huge turbosmart supersonic bov when on low boost it flutters on high boost its like an air compressor exploding its great. got sounds for all occasions lol

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
