my blow off valve has always worked and smoothly make the nice sound its supposed to do. its a greddy rs bov. i dont remember what i did to make it do this but recently when it goes off at full boost or any boost it just flutters. i adjusted the hell out of the adjustment stud and no difference. i checked THOROUGHLY for boost leaks and no luck. anybody had this problem??

btw, i tried another bov and still same problem. im so damn pissed, i hate that damn flutter. ANY help would be very appreciated.

 

Doesn't fluttering happen when the spring is ultra tight?

 

Would this prevent all hte air from going out, and some getting back to the turbo? :O

 

yeah thats correct, but ive adjusted it tight and all the way loose. it gets louder the looser i get it but it still flutters like hell.

 

yeah, i was worried about that too. i just hate that damn flutter.

 

pressure surges + turbo = trouble, this just happend to my friends hks ssq, its not opening but yet theres no signs of vac leaks or anything wrong, the springs usually go bad, and i think this is yet his is all crapped out probably since he has a sexy style hood the water could of messed the tensioning springs inside the bov. maybe it could be a worn seal in the bov, only way to learn is but tying it out by putting it on someone elses ride and see if it works and/or you can open it and see whats the deal :P

 

good points, im gonna take it apart and whats up. the wierd part is that i took a friends one off and still did the same thing. dunno...maybe two bad?? we'll see, ill keep ya posted. thanks

 

took it apart and cleaned it. still that damn flutter. i gave up, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
