Need an aftermarket bov....?

[mofodm]

Gday,

Ive got a R32 gts-t. Its mods are only an 3'' turbo back exaust and a pod. Eventually after ive bought a automatic boost controller im going to raise it to about 11-12 psi i was wondering if an after market bov would make much/any affect on performance? And if so i've always liked the flutter sound can ne1 tell me a nice sounding bov?

Thx.

I'm no expert on bov's, but If who want to run on 11-12 psi, I would also get a aftermarket intercooler. You should find out first if you havn't already, if that amount of boost is safe for your engine/turbo set up. The bov will give you a bit more performance, depending on which one you get, and they are also designed to release pressure. If your turbo is standard, I would definitely get one fitted. There are so many models, you will have to look on other threads on this forum (forced induction) or go & see your local turbo/performance engineer to get a professional opinion on your set up. Other people on this forum who know about the RB20 engine setups will be able to help you more than me. My best advice I can give is - prepare your engine & turbo first - before boosting, because it will save money later. Cheers, Chris.

in relation to "needing" a BOV.

No, you do not need and aftermarket one unless yours is leaking a bit. That would be the only reason

as for flutter/attention seeking. Use the search button or i'll lock this thread.

The whole flutter thing came up again - 2 days ago.

If anything it may help vent some of the hot air before the inlet valves and stop unwanted back-pressure,

how does a BOV stop backpressure? I'd like to know

1.) no you don't neet an aftermarket bov.

2.) you want that sound, Block the bov and all it's vacuum and return lines.
