when my car is idle and i rev it to say 4000 or 5000 rpm.. i should be able to hear my bov go off correct? if i remember last time i reved it my boost guage would just go to 0 and just stay there even if i revved it to 4000rpm.. i got a hks ssqv bov.. also has anyone got one and know which way to twist the screw so i get maximum loudness? im not sure which way i screw it to get it louder.. anyone know which way to twist it? thanks guys!

Help Support 4GTuner:
you will make more boost on load (when driving)
at idle, you boost will probably only move from vac to atmospheric pressure when revving at idle..
u will also hear less of a psssssssssss when doing it at idle..
u can adjust the hks with a bolt at the back of the bov if i recall correctly!
dont go too loose as it could cause leaks
good luck mate

There is a little screw on the back, but he's right, they dont make much noise on the spot.

hmm
hmmm i no what your talkin about, im not exactly sure how it works but i know with my Evo 1 i cant do it with out being under load. i think what it is, is that it the throttle pressure u apply, i can get my Evo to 7000rpm without using boost, yet when im under load i can here the wastegate at about 1800rpm, if u really want to hear it give the throttle a hit all the way to the floor, only a quick hit tho, u should be able to here it.
why do u want to do this anyway?

What turbo have you got? You will find turbos like the TD04L (WRX Turbo) will spool really quick coz they are a smaller turbo. I know a mate who has a TD04L on his magna and you just have to tap the throttle to make it go off its so easy. If its a larger turbo that may be your problem.

My vr4 will boost in neutral and in gear with the clutch in. But it's a freak.
I have a Evo 3 16g and i can boost in nuteral... only coz of the stutter box though :lol: In all seriousness i would assume that that would be your problem... due to it being a significanly larger turbo than your uncles it isnt as responsice to revs like that and wont boost much in nuteral.
