sorry im not turbo kaki actually, any link for more info/explanation on that?

you will hear the surge sound when the bov set too tight and during throttle release. the throttle body shut immediately and the pressurize air is trapped and travel back and forth throttle body and turbo compressor. the psshh psshh psshh sound is the pressurized air moving in between. really cool but not recommended if the boost is high.

bov sound usually will discharge once not psshh psshh psshhh. AFAIK FYI :D

the air will end up at air filter. thats where the sound produced. thats why i said listen carefully between BOV and airfilter.

yes true...thats wat happened to my bov...ssqv1...the spring was too hard....

 

[MKMD428]

i experienced it when using Sard R2D2. piston bov kaput. spring lost its elastic ability.

what are the symptoms of the BOV not holding?

i'm not sure if my BOV is leaking. lately my boost cannot go past 1.1bar. but it's holding steady at 1.1bar.

is this a sign of the BOV not holding and leaking boost? im using a Greddy Type RS. car was tuned to boost at 1.4bar.
