It took a little longer to spool up, wasn't a big difference but just enough to notice it. I guess that all the air flowing back through the turbo slows it down a little more then when it's vented out.

I back off with no boost, then about 1/2 boost then flat to the floor as you can see on the boost gauge. It's pretty loud!Let me know what you think. I might leave it on for the cruise, either that or blocked BOV for some dose like the vids above. Enjoy!vvtXVpUfPKA 3

If you listen to the full boost back off, it's surging as well as venting. How do you make it so it doesn't surge at all? Do you need a stronger BOV that's made specifically to vent?Cheers
Rogue01 Member 25 Member For: 18y 10m 7d Location: Brisbane Posted 19/04/08 02:24 AM Posted 19/04/08 02:24 AM OK, installed it this morning.Stock ute, no tune (with Xforce boost gauge running off the vaccuum line).All the flutter has gone, totally. Gauge is showing its coming on boost, and it definitely feels like it, but I just can not get it to flutter at all.So Ill probably take it off later today or tomorrow. :(
