I made a post a while ago about my car overboosting under heavy throttle. Although this problem is unresolved and will have to be tuned out, I am encountering other problems now. When accelerating slowly if I need to slow down gradually and ease of the gas, the car sputters, lurches a few times and then continues to slow. Another issue I am having is the sound of blow off valve flutter when shifting under low boost. These problems were not present a month ago and seem as though they are getting worse. I'm thinking maybe a faulty BOV? ANY mindful suggestions welcome

 

Could be your BOV. Also, with your mods, did you get tuned?

 

Yeah it was tuned about a year and a half ago, It ran fantastically.

 

if your bov has been slowly breaking, it could explain it. When you have a leak the system tries to pump in more boost to counter it.

 

This is what I thought, could a BOV cause the stuttering I've described?

 

Yup it can cause that too.

 

Question is, should I buy a new stock BOV? or Order Aftermarket?

 

If you can borrow someone's to test it out, that'd be preferable. If you replace, might as well go aftermarket. I went with a synchronic.

 

I have a brand new Synapse Synchronic DV if you want one. I'm also running it. Bought an extra one for a friend but he flaked on me. PM me if you're interested.

 

eh that sucks man sorry to hear

 

Well as for flutter in low accel. From what I understand this happens normally, and is not anywhere near enough boost to cause damage. As for the studder, I get it too, but only in 5th gear at like 2200ish rpm going up hills, and was under the impression you fix it just by being in a lower gear on hills.

 

check the actuators to see if they are opening properly, are you on the stock ones or aftermarket?

 

I had that on stock turbo but it went away when I went to a BBX and a different BOV. I'm not sure which part fixed it but I'd assume the turbo.

 

Seems like quite a few people have this issue, unless it's dangerous, I think I'll probably just ignore it.

 

Its hard to ignore when it happens in 3rd 4th and 5th gear, and basically bucks the car back and fourth rapidly for about 2 seconds... I guess I'll try the BOV first and go from there... Remind me because I havent worked on my car in a while, do I need to tune with a BOV?
