you need to fix your BOV, getting some compressor surge there

 

Please explain.... I'm new to the turbo scene. All I know is that we welded a flange on and its sealed. Its a TurboXS RFL

 

Is it adjustable? Sounds like it's too tight and it's not opening enough.

And your having no problems with a vented BOV?

 

Its not adjustable as far as I know. I'll have to get in there and look again.

No problems so far with it being vented. The one RRM sends is a Bosch vented BOV

 

Some BOVs are too stiff and require modification. Also make sure if it is getting enough vacuum.
I'm not familiar with the RFL, but with the greddy BOVs there are 2 springs and the other spring is removed.

 

the car looks and sounds really good man i cant wait to see some videos of you actually driving the car or on the track keep us posted bro

 

I'll look into it. I appreciate the help/advice.

 

The RFL should stand up to it's name, and yours doesn't! Make sure the vac source is adequate and that the line is not pinched. It does not seem like it opens at all.

 

no offense but you need some sort of exhaust it sounds really restricted by the exhaust and kinda wimpy. not saying you need a rocket ship but something like a nice HKS exhaust not too loud not too soft

 

grab that injen header back

 

i thought it came with an exhaust?

 

nah man, jus the header

 

It comes with a header and downpipe. And I do have an exhaust. You probably can't hear a decent clip of it due to the crappy camera. I have a Tsudo N1 axel back. So I have what, 6 feet of stock piping??? Besides some of us like low noise. That doesn't mean the exhaust is restricted or "wimpy". Your only in Austin, you think its wimpy, drive on up and I'll school you.

With the BOV, like I said, I'll look into it. Maybe it has got a slight leak or something. I have to get to my friends lift to pull the under-paneling off to investigate.

 

nice video man, looks and sound really good

 

Sounds really good. I'm jealous, can't wait till I save up enough for turbo. I assume u have the 5 spd? Do u have any dynos that show what kinda power u are getting now with the turbo?
