Default got my new turboxs rfl BOV,,what should it sound like

im going to mess with it a lil tomorrow,,
they give u like 7 washers,,and u just put them in there if the spring needs to b tighter,

right now i dont have any washers in there

and at full throttle it lets off a big woosh,,followed by a long whistle

what do most of your sound like
should i just keep putting 1 washer in there,,and test it out??

do any of your rfls have washers in it??

thanks mike

cant remember the site , but if you do a search and hit "best BOV" there alink to site where the have sound clips of most of the bovs, including rfl. Its like alltrac.net or com i dont know. Maybe someone will repost it.

Btw the sound clip i believe was on a WRX at idle, enver ehard it on a honda, but didnt really like the sound.

btw RFL is the loudest

Really Fuc*ing Loud

thanks,,ill try that,,
,
it says that putting more or less washers might change the idle of the car,,and change how much booste your runnin

ill check tomorrow,
i think my neighbers might not like me drivin up and down the street testing diff washers

it wont change how much boost your car runs but it will change how much it holds. try the 3 washers and see what happens.

well i messed with the BOV a lil

had none,,then put 1,,then 2,,then 3,

i cant really decide if its helping or not

i know with 3,,there is no whistle after the whooosh,
and the whoosh isnt as loud as on 0-2 washers

,i do notice on all of them,
at about,,if im crusin in 4th,(i have a 93 GSR tranny with 93 LS motor turboed)
and i floor it a lil,
when the booste guage gets to in the middle of .0and .5,,it will flutter,,.and stay there for a couple seconds,,then go past it
and at full throttle it will hit about 1-2 lines past .5

,
what lbs am i runnin at full throttle??is 2 lines past .5,,7lbs??

well,,i think im gonna go talk to the shop,,and see what they thing
i really need to video tape the guage,,and make sure i can hear the BOV at diff rpms..then go back to look at the tape

well any more info is good

i think im gonna keep it at no wahers for now
its a big wooshe,,and a long whiltle at then end

what do yours sound like??
if u can describe them by typeing

thanks mike
