If it does solve it, great... but if it doesn't you're only amplifying the damage being done to your turbo via compressor surge.

So even tho the BOV IS venting the air...it still could be compressor surge? And also if it is compressor surge, what would be causing it..and how can I stop it?

:EDIT: Ok now that I think about even when revving in nuetral my friends car's BOV makes a normal noise and it's only making like 1 psi in neutral..so it can't be that its just the way it sounds under low PSI. So how can I stop the compressor surge?

A little help?

looser spring or a BOV that is designed for a low boost setup. have you still not contacted whoever made your turbo kit? im sure you could get all this figured out in a matter of minutes if you call them.

Ok my Bov has a 7 psi spring. So once I turn the boost up to where I want it, around 6-7, everything should be fine...

Sell your car, and get a civic.

Problem solved. Your not worthy of a turboed subaru.

WTF....?

svek · 11-11-2006, 04:31 PM

get a sound clip of it. ill bet its from running low boost. 7 psi isnt considered high boost either.

what kind of times do you run in that boosted 25?

hatchbuilder · 11-16-2006, 12:40 AM

could it just be your wastegate opening and closing? I bet it's your wastegate. They do that flutter sound as they vent exhaust gasses past the turbo. It is normal. It is a little weird if you have never heard it before. If everything is plumbed correctly with your vacuum lines in the right spots it should be fine.

On light boost, it'll flutter. Some people experience fluttler running a FMIC due to more air in the system as a whole than less air in the system of a TMIC.

Ever hear those Supra's revving and the BOV chirping flutter?
