yo people, after having low boost at 0.7bar me and a friend took off the vacuum pipes to look for the pill, it was there, we teared one of the pipes by mistake but it was long enough to cut and attach, after putting everything back together the car is pulling much harder and boosting at 1.4bar???? could a kink in the vacuum pipe of caused the low boost? heres a pic

could the pipe of been kinked on the inter cooler?


also when driving normal or hardish i cant hear the bov?? only a flutter noise when releasing the throttle?? only if i boot it to about 5-6k revs then it dumps off?? heres pics of the bov, not sure what kind it is?

 

That is the vac pipe to the turbo actuator that controls boost pressure, so yes. Quite possible.

 

That was the pipe that ripped when taking it off, we cut and reattached it, any idea what make the bov is?

 

Looks like a turbo smart one

 

Cool. Only had car 4weeks just trying to find out were im at with it

 

Anyone got any ideas why im getting flutter when letting off throttle and no dump noies unless i take it to very high revs

 

looks like 35 quid cheap ebay crap
ive got bailey - crap to -for 5 years just seal gone and will go for standard at a minute.
I will miss sound but is time to grow up

 

haha, ive read that a tight spring will cause the flutter noise but dunno were to start untill i find out what dump valve it is lol. what does grown up mean lmao :P immature ftw haha

 

just read through my txts on my phone of when i was txting the lad before doing the swap, ive found a txt that says it has a turbo smart trumpet dump valve

 

Its defo not a turbosmart. As said above its a cheap ebay dv and you should bin it.

 

the noise is because of the boost levels in the rev range, low down you are not hitting boost/very little and high up you are

 

Any recommendations on what valve to get? Also is it essential that it needs changed before the remap next month

 

Standard valve if you are still running a maf,otherwise a high quality kit from the likes of Turbosmart,HKS,Tial etc...SJ.

 

Will i need a stock sti one saying as it has the sti intercooler

 

Buy an HKS SSQV

This is mine that was fitted to my previous STI

Also a video of the Balieys one that was fitted before hand (very mild compared to the SSQV!)

i thought that it doesnt matter on the make if it is venting to the atmosphere and you have a maf your engine will run rich regardless.

a standard wrx one will be fine

 

OE will be fine.

If you want a valve that vents to atmosphere I would use nothing but a GENUINE HKS SSQV. I say genuine as the ebay ones are pretty much 99% fakes which will cause issues and fail. A genuine one will not be had for less then £200.

What ever you do you need it fitted before the remap. Otherwise changing after the remap may cause the fine set of parameters set in the remap to be thrown out slightly.

 

Thanks for all the info guys, more expense i guess. Suppose owning a Scooby means deep pockets lol. So if its mapped on the blow off valve that's on the car then i pretty much have to stick with it? Or could i just stick with a atmospheric one. Think the maf is still on the car yeah

 

worth it when everything is done and right though

give scooby spares a call, no doubt they will have loads for cheap

 

Usually because the muppet before you fitted bad parts and messed it all up. The problem with second hand scoobies is there have usually been several owners who have tried to "upgrade" things.....
