your car have unmetered air entering the system

 

toooo funny
+ 1 for the bluntness

 

i honestly was jst about to buy a hks but im not going into crazy boost so might as well keep my pos one

 

To the OP did the Recirc kit fix your problem or did you get a tune yet? Fill those of us who have that BOV in

 

Re circ kit didn't solve my problem, SSQV fitted and sold on the same day, total pos

 

hey people i have a 08 gsr i dont have to tell some of u the evo x sucks in the snow due to the tires i found This out the hARD way i slid almost half a block into a ford suv lucky for me it had a tow hitch with a reciever and the reciever went through the grill and messed up the support and the intercooler no damage to the paint or the the frame but i needed an inercooler i ordered an ams intercooler agp pipes and hks blow off valve after cobb ap stage 1 flash stock filter for now after install i noticed the increase in power rite away drove it vta and sounds great i got ON THE HIGHWAY and all was good hour drive and when i returned i heard a small pop like a backfire through the intake and check engine and rough idle code was p1241 i clearedit it came on again under heavy acc the problem was a hose that was tight but was sitting on the bead of the pipe and was causing a leak under heavy acc people check this before u go crazy removing things from your cars i still have my bov in the car and i vta the bacfire was the hose poping off under boost hpoe this helps some of u

 

All these problems just to hear your car whistle? Should have bought a Honda.

 

I almost died trying to read that one incredibly long sentence in one breath...

 

I've been using the hks for 2 weeks vta with not real problems other than the fact it doesn't leak like the stock one. i preemptively disabled the typical codes that come along with vta systems before installation. stock bov was pretty ****ty at holding boost above 25lbs and i am happy i got rid of it

 

I am recirculating using a Blitz VD BOV and for some reason it flutters like crazy when I go WOT. It sounds like air is fluttering out of the engine. Any ideas as to why it flutters so much? Do I need to get a stronger spring or just tighten the current spring?

 

How do you know if it leaks? Does the car run different?

 

tested it: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...leak-test.html

and it was obvious after swapping them when i went from 27 psi to 32

 

I can spike 27 once in a while and hold 22-24 psi. If I saw 32psi on my boost gauge I would freak out. I really don't think that is healthy for the turbo and motor. When I shift though I seem to have a pause delay in boost, this doesn't feel like boost lag but something else. I actually thought a while ago that this might be my BOV but would like to find out if there is a difference in the way the car runs with different BOV set ups.

 

That's not the BOV fluttering. If you hear flutter at wide open throttle that's compressor surge. It's happening because your turbo is spooling too fast...it's pumping too much air too early and the engine can't take it all in, so it backs up back through the compressor.

 

I have had it on with the complete kit including piping for a while now and there are no issues.
