Watched a video on YouTube where someone had blocked with abit of sheet metal the recirc valve, makes quite a cool sound, but will it damage anything to do it for a day?

Wouldn't do it with a VF series turbo. The TD series and MD/SC turbos are better suited to it.

Only a good idea if you have a TD series turbo. The vf series turbos don't have strong enough compressor wheels.

Damn you type faster lol

Ah that was my concern! Read there not the strongest!

just fit a fmic and induction kit and you will get a similar noise

GoML-STi

The boost will be forced back through the turbo creating that strange but awesome noise. It is often refferd to as flutter or more commonly chatter. I wouldn't suggest doing it to a vf series turbo they are not strong enough unfortunately.

Dan-

Bit more expensive than a free bit of alloy do hve a front mount on my shopping list for future tho

Dan-

My mate did it to his Astra Vxr last year and I love the drive to Southend in it! But he used a 1 way valve I think somthing differnt, not sure what turbo they use either guessing a td

When I changed my air filter box to the rcm induction on my 04STI running a vf35 there was a slight bit of chatter. However not enough to be satisfied with. As tommy says adding a front mount would help but that's not as cheap as a bit of sheet metal.

God knows what vauxhall use nowadays. They used to use crappy kkk turbos. Not to be confused with the racists of USA
