hey fellas, going to do this tomorrow to my BA xr6t, but im more keen on the stututu noise instead of psshhhhhh. what else is needed to get the sttututu noise. I have the typhoon intake, KnN panel filter.

Block or remove the bov altogether.

I have vented the stock bov. car is stock and auto, only time I hear a pssshhh sound is when I hit boost then back off throttle. which is good. I do notice while at idle I feel air escaping out of the filter I attached to bov...do these stock bov leak abit at idle?

Doesn't sound like it, can you post up a pick?

This mod has almost become obsolete now that you can buy the knockoff turbosmart kompacts for $60.

Where from?

THIS is the one I bought mate, sold out unfortunately. Pretty good quality for the price.

Thanks Dillz..too bad there sold out cant really go wrong for that price

Is there any impact on performance (either positive or negative) when venting to atmo?

I would have thought that returning the air back into the manifold during a gear change, will help to build boost quicker in the next gear?

By the way I just did this on my FG F6, and the best way to get "tututu" is to drill a 10mm hole into the rubber stopper which is to be attached to factory BOV.

Do we have an emoticon that represents "tututu"?

Have you tried blocking it fully? Use to think that too mate, have done both on mine but I swear it runs way better with a full blocked bov (and is louder) then with the hole drilled in it. Have no idea why but that's just my experience. Someone explained it in this thread I think.

Not really any positive in performance for an auto but atmo bovs are designed to keep boost up during gear changes on a manual cars so if there was to be any benefit it would be in that scenario.

Haven't tried to have it fully blocked. I might try that tommorow.

I don't understand how venting to atmo would help to keep boost up, I thought that it would actually release boost, whereas venting into the manifold would "recycle" air and hence keep boost up ???
