Turbomart BOV Flutter/Surge
Hey guys i just recently installed my turbosmart BOV and ive been having alot of flutter/surge, you cant hear it at high boost but its bad at very low boost when i slightly press the throttle. I looked everywhere and people are having the same problems and others say that they have zero problems. Im confused I tried setting it at soft and hard and in between but no use, im running the mods that are in my sig btw. Im also running recirculated not VTA, any ideas to whats causing the flutter??
Turbosmart BOV flutter Fix!!!
*Update* So i was in socal yesterday and turbosmart was able to open up their shop on a day that they are closed just to fix my BOV, great customer service!
They told me since i have an exhaust, test pipe and an intake i freed up the car more its breathing way better so in order for the BOV not to flutter you really got to mess with it. The solution however is the spring, the tech their said that changing the spring will fix the flutter right away and once he installed it, it was easily fixed! No more flutter and the BOV sounds great, it holds boost great
I like to give a shout out to Marty at Turbosmart for the great customer service

bump!
Well turbosmart never called back, i tried everything to make the flutter go away, i bought a new hose to see if maybe the hose was cracked, i lubed the BOV to see if that was the problem and i check all my hoses and piping to see that was the cause and no im still getting flutter

#1 problem of it getting gunked is water tends to sit the on the releasing port causing it to seize from mother nature like it rust's a bit. I had the same problem a few times. So i got a custom bracket made which is like a mini roof/cover over the vavle where water never gets on it. Problem solved! Never gunked up or got seized up.
