Tial bov is fluttering like crazy!
The bov was working fine a couple of days ago. I put on a KN filter onto my turbo and now its fluttering like crazy. The BOV has its own vac source straight into the Intake manifold. i have about 19 in of vac. I'm not sure what spring is in there. But I assume it should work fine cause it was working fine before? I tried taking the filter off also.

this same thing happened before i got my tial 50mm....my bov was sticking and until i ran a filter i didn't notice it....once i had the filter on there, it started fluttering a lot more, but it was actually compressor surge

a lot of people get compressor surge and "bov fluttering" mixed up. COMPRESSOR SURGE can sound just like a fluttering blow off valve. Kinda confused me a couple of times.

Does this fluttering you guys are talking about make noise or is it quiet and the bov is just opening and closing?? Just curious.

all of a sudden my spring load is too heavy? I need to get a 9 lbs spring or something now. cause i can rev it up and get some boost and let go of the throttle and the bov will not open and cause the compressor to surge.

Re: (batboyvaj)
what spring are you using now? you said you have 19" at idle so the 9lbs spring should work fine, it might be a little light i guess. tial does recommend the 11lbs spring for 18-21"

if any one wants to know what ompressor surge sounds like , listen to the WRC rally cars , they dont run BOV , ive always wanted that sound but then found out they dont use them lol
keep in mind they probly replace a turbo every few stages due to surg and the antilag systems
