i have a boost/transition problem... boost under 4500 rpms is 8-9psi, then when i take the RPMs up, i can hear the CRV blow off and hear what i think is the other turbo spin up, but the boost only goes to about 3psi, then when i let off there is this "HOOOOO" like there is a dang OWL under my hood.

basically, whenever i let off in boost over 4500rpm, an owl goes HOOOO, and if i immediately punch it again, the boost still only goes back up to 3psi until i go back under 4500rpms and boost...

am i on drugs? or has anyone else heard of this...

 

Is it more like a "mooo"

 

i heard the JDM owls actually give you about 30 more hp. they're always on ebay.

 

i had this same problem, its not the moo cuz i dont have an airpump

 

its not the airpump moo if thats what you're talking about. lol (dont have one)

i guess it could be a COW, if you like cows better than owls. i personally thing owls are way cooler.

Yeah, owls can rotate their necks over 360 degrees. Yikes!

 

Check the transition control actuator and make shure both bolts are in. It may be covered by a heat shield. I had one fall out when I was on twins and no 2nd turbo transition. There is also a "C" clip on the end of the rod that swings open the gate. I don't know if this is the answer but it's worth a look if possible.

 

interesting. my secondary turbo is leaking oil out of the inlet... i'm guessings its more dead than i previously though...



i'm replacing these turbos and going nonsequential damnit!!

 

i actually checked that. all the actuators/arms are hooked up and are not jammed or anything.

 

im selling my turbos

 

i have another set, but thanks!

 

I had the same problem a while back. I think is was because the turbo housing wasn't seated correctly.

 

Jacob.... those bowling green owls giving you trouble?

 

I had the same problem. Wish I could help, but I went never figured out what it was, I went non-seq instead

 

anyone else had this problem?

 

probable not the same problem...but i had a goose sound(it was like letting air out of a balloon)...i ended up giving every clamp one full turn and it went away...
sounds like yours is more involved.....good luck

 

Can you get a sound clip of the noise?

 

Did you buy a Turkey Call BOV and get the Ebay Knock off that sounds more like an Owl?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

Sorry, but I find it funny...our cars making cow noises, owl noises, even goose noises and now a turkey call bov. It's a whole damn zoo under the hood.

p.s. I got the same problem with the moo and the goose noises. The car is performing normally after I adjusted the idle control thing, I forget what it' s called, so I just gave up looking for it. I got used to the moo sound now, but the goose sound is still annoying. I'll go try to tighten the clamps on the turbo hoses. I never heard of the owl sound. Could it be the bearings on the turbos?? Or the second turbo doesn't spool up or may be a leak somwhere? Is it possible for just one turbo to give up, or do both of them give up as a unit?

 

Check the line from the CRV to the manifold and then thru the manifold to the CR solenoid.

dave,

checked it. it was attached and all good.

 

Did you check the large bending hose to the CRV? That thing turns to plastic over time and can develop cracks.

 

 

that must be the ******* thats living under my hood!
