Ok cool thanks Nice to know I don't have ABS actually.

You guys know what to clean a plastic OEM BOV with?

flip it round so out is in and in is out so's to speak - that fixes george. Thats about all i know sorry

[aim]

and turn the engine on? doesn't that have detrimental effects on the engine/BOV/seq. turbo system? What is 'george'?

EDIT: Also the top (smallest) hose won't reach the nozzle, just leave it out?

haha ask Joker.. the bovs i think you will find work fine in both directions - george is rooted bov on a TT syndrome - sounds like a duck or goose.. hence george..

im wondering if that would help a leaky bov i guess

Mate I can't even hear my BOVs. Even when I've got my head in the engine bay pushing on the throttle...

standard ones you dont. but a broken standard one you do.. trust me.. ever get a broken bov thats doing a "george" on ya and youl know about it ;D

[aim]

Ok sweet. so my BOVs aren't doing a 'george'

Oh, btw, When I've got my head in the engine bay... I can't even hear my turbos spooling/or whirling... I'm gonna assume that's probably very bad... They were spooling the other day. However they were very loud and still provided no boost... any idea what's up?

if you want to hear the bov more take the air intake out that goes from the front (your red circle is around it a bit) and the big restricter out of the fender,

[aim]

I don't necessarily want to hear them more, I just want the turbos to be doing their job properly and reliably I'm not into the whole ricey 'psssht' sound. I do however like the low subie rumble!

Can't help me with my power issue? It feels slower than a TS wagon or an LX.

[Drunkenmonkey]

its not overly loud cant hear it with music going....

as for your issue im not to sure my twin turbo blew a turbo so im going single

[aim]

Well maybe I will later. Not on the for front of all things necessary atm though

And I can't afford a TT to T conversion atm! I'd cringe at the several hundred it'd cost me for a new turbo

[Jimbob]

how hard is it to do a straight swap of the primary turbo? and would you need gaskets etc?

[Drunkenmonkey]

you can reuse them IF they come off easy on my gf TT engine i had to put a hak saw between the downpipe and turbo

[aim]

OT please guys I really would like my issue fixed! ichi ban told me to check engine vac at manifold. So.... anyone in Wairoa got a vac gauge I can borrow?

EDIT: Or know where I can pick one up? Repco or Super cheap stock them?

[Drunkenmonkey]

boost guage does vac aswell

[dubbedup]

repco stock cheap boost gauges that show vac as well...~$40 IIRC
