How did you get it to fit?

When I went to install it, the VTA portion was pushing the radiator hose too far so I left the stocker in.

 

I agree and it honestly pains me to see it. There are a lot of issues with the kits going on and none of them seem to have been the turbo kit itself.

I have said it before, we did the entire EVO build with Staged upgrades in mind. Each stage builds on the next. This has worked well for us. The BR440 kit is actually getting some great phone feedback here. The turbo isn't so large that the tuning and parts combination becomes so critical.

none of the issues i experienced were with the turbo its self.... the only issue i had was the boost controller, and i think some of the issue i may have had, may have been the hose i used to come off the wastegate to the boost controller, since the wastegate is below the manifold, the hose got SUPER hot. so i put some termo-sleeve on it (good to 2000 degrees) and i now have NO taper, and no more spiking

btw dave, the thermo-sleeve i'm suing is similiar to the velcro thermo that you guys send with your kit.... however its not velcro it actually "slides over" but what brand is the velcro, i'd like some for other applications....i just can't find a source...

 

That sounds like compressor surge, not a fluttering BOV.

 

well its the bov, cuz when i let off the gas it would do release..

anyway i fixed that too

 

Did the thermo sleeve fix the issue with the bov or did you end up doing something else?

 

Can you explain how you fix the fluttering or compressor surge cause I'm having that also. I'm also having the boost spike.

Thks

 

this is on a aftermakert turbo...

i tightened the BOV and tahts what fixed it from fluttering under accelleration... and basically all i did to correct the other issues was i added the thermo-sleeve to my boost lines to the boost controller, and cleaned the crap out of the hallman

 

thnks glad things are going good now. i assume u mean tighten the bov bolts and not tighten the spring on the bov by adding washers, etc.

 

We have the thermo sleeve in stock.

There are a couple of different kinds:

Aluminized sleeving, this slids over and will protect up to 500 degrees of direct heat comes in sizes from 1/2" to 1-1/2".

We have the Heat Shroud, this comes in 1/2" tp 1-1/2" diameter by 3' long pieces. This is the velcro style.

We have most of this in stock. Wrap for the downpipes, turbo kits etc.

by turning the adjustment knob....


dave thanks..

 

Thanks. My BOV seems to be opening and closing under half throttle at 4th or 5th gear. I'll try adding some washers on the turbo xs RFL that I have and see if that helps. I thought I saw a post where someone mention that the corect method was to remove washer for fluttering, compressor surge that's why I didn't do it yet.
