Listen to it at the end when the throttle is let off,

i have a Godspeed Kit, with a Godspeed BOV,
http://www.godspeedproject.com/store...roducts_id=160


i used to think the flutter was just the sound of the BOV, kinda sounds like a sprinkler , but it people started to say maybe it was compressor surge, i got kind of scared, but then again godspeed has 1 year warranty xP.

is my bov even working at all?

 

I don't know if you're hearing compressor surge in that video, hard to tell the audio isn't the best.

Doesn't sound like your BOV is opening though. But it's not going to ruin the turbo if you don't get it fixed right away, that's just another internet myth.

 

Yeah i didn't think mY BOV was working, my BOV is located on the passenger side, but sound sounds like it comes from the driver side.

how do you adjust the bov? i heard something about an allen key, do u losen all the little bolts around the bov?

 

There should be 1 bolt to adjust the BOV. Take a picture of it. I'm out in GG if you need a hand sometime

 

what did Kevin say? (vid looks like it was taken at Whitfield)
the 'sprinkler sound' is the bov
couldn't hear it on the first pull, only slightly on the second

 

Yup it was whitfield, they didn't say anything about it, because there were bigger problems, my radiator hose exploded, probably blown head gasket.

Thats a a weird BOV sound.. i always thought they supposed to be one single clean sound. like a psssssssss, mines like pSS SSS SSS SSS SSS LOl like a sprinkler, likea flutter, hope it not compressor surge :O this kit was just installed.

ill record another video when i get a chance.

 

Garden Grove? nice ill roll by this weekend if your free xP maybe u can hear it in person and you can tell me if its normal .

 

thats surge...

 

QQ what should my nexst step be ?

 

loosen the bov... what kind of ebay bov is it? the greddy knockoffs come with 2 springs that make it way too stiff, any turbo xs style is pure ****.

get a quality one and go from there

 

 

its a Godspeed one, it came with the kit, its SSQV Style BOV i believe,
the people at whitfield racing didn't say anything, my mechanic told me that it was indeed blowing, he said its a SSQV so it lets off pressure in stages.



ill go have someone else listen to it and check it out :O and prob look into another BOV

good thing Godspeed offers 1 year warranty on everything they sell :D

 

compressor surge has nothing to do with a warranty... the part isnt defective its just **** quality...

 

Lose the goodspeed bov! Never seen them work correctly and then suddenly they just stop. I would not also trust the wastegate too.

 

lol okay yeah this bov is prob ****, its not even godspeed brand, its not even adjustable.... , it has no screw in the back or anywhere for adjustment, no springs. what a p.o.s. :/, i just don't think it works in general.

whats a decent bov to get? not trying to spend 3 bills for a bov :O

 

that's why they have used quality BOVs. Most New ones are the low to mid-200s in cost.

 

if 300 is too much... sell your car and buy a prius... it fits you better

 

LOL, prob find something in the 200 range

 

i wonder if my vaccum lines are hooked up properly, the bov is hooked up to a "T" thing, looks like its going torward the intake manifold,

just wanna double check, so when i get a better functional bov, i won't be getting the same problem. im turbo noob, so the bov is supposed to somewhere on the intake manifold right?
