Just wondering if anyone knows how to get that wicked 'flutter' sound, when backing of the throttle on a turbo. Im not sure, but I think it may be the wastgate? Or is it a particular type of BOV? Heaps of tough VL RB30's do it, specially that yellow Bresciani racing monster!

Block off you blow off valves so that all waste air from closing the throttle has to go back through the compressors on your turbos. This will cause massive surging to your turbos - some people say it damages them - and make that flutter sound. Problem is you slow the turbos down every time you hear it, causing it to take longer to get back on boost.

In short it isn't the sound of an effective street turbo setup unfortunately.

Yeah my car makes that noise, u just have to push it really hard to get it. Reason mine does it is that my stock BOV cant support the ammount of boost im running. Its not good for the turbo so dont do it. Need to find me some Twin GT-R BOV's.

Im puttin one of those new exhaust tips on so it goes, wooo wooooo wooo woooooooo

pwwahaha "das early in the mornin , got be up cooking breakfast by den" magic !wonder if my bovs will make it on sandra sully's table this arvo ?

i just bought a new stock bov coz the stock one that was on the car when i bought it had been welded shut to stop it from opening

i'll take a pic tonight of the bottom of it to give you an idea..... sounds cool for a bit, but you get sick of it lol, and it does slow you down, coz the turbo almost needs to respool after every gear change.

-ruffels

mine flutters with a turbosmart BOV.. the tension in the spring is just a little tighter so that the air cant hold the piston open for long, so it does lots of little sharp bursts

only does it when you ease off the throttle tho, when you let off fully its just a normal bov sound

Yeah, when I took my car for a drive once it was cleared by customs it made that sound, turns out there was a screw in the stock bov, so they had blocked it off for that sound. Sound was sweet, but does the turbo no good. I haven't heard the sequential bov, would it make a similar sound though????

I CALL BULLSHIT

Bullshit yourself mate, you dont know anything about my car. A stock BOV cant handle 17 Pounds of boost...

Damn i didnt know people were so dumb in western australia, guess its true what they say

Considering most stock bov's leak in between 12-15psi, that's where the bullshit factor come into it, and if you're not bullshitting your losing power. I'm sure running 17psi with it is doing your turbo a world of good too.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
