i fixed my BOV no more annoying compressor surge
k, i had this fluttering problem since i put on the turbo last saturday... i asked wuestions and you guys and other guys from other forums gave me good answers... i had the time earlier and took the BOV apart... you ask why? cuz the rod wouldn't move at allno matter how much pressure i put on it..... it was a bitch by the way to take the thin apart since it was clogged with dirt...... i was hammering it and stuff.... now i got everything off, so i clean it and sanded the rod and the inside of the BOV casing to take the dirt off... any of you hav seen the inside of a BOV??? i cant believe they charge that much for just a litte pece of metal with spring and bolts.... bt anyways, i put em bck together and put itback in the ca and what i get??? a big WWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHH....... yeyeyeyeyyeyye.... just wanna share my joy with you guys...

BOV, wastegate, fuel pressure regulators, etc... all nothing but a little piece of metal with spring and bolts.
Crazy world.

Aren't you using the GReddy BOV? (the purple one) I though they were *supposed* to have the fluttering sound.. well that's how mine has been ever since its been in my car (though I bought it second hand) - also every other Purple GReddy BOV i've seen flutters..

With foot off the gas (as in shifting when in boost), there should be a nice, smooth, breezy "psssshhhuuuuiiieeeeeshhhhh" sound similar to a whistle (or however in the hell you spell it) wwwwhhhhhooooossssshhhhiiiieeeeeeeee! ??
Anyway...there ya have it.
