im not a pro on plugs but as its fairly stock(ish) then 9\'s should be fine allround. i\'m sure someone will correct me if im wrong

You have to send it away to get the wastegate ported or you can get the compressor housing ported with an antistall shroud - but its cheaper to get the wastegate ported to proected the turbo! but on fc3s pro there is a guide on how to do it, personally I wouldn\'t risk it, the other option is to run with no BOV and no wastegate porting and watch the turbo seals fail and then probably the compressor blades get damaged. The previous owner of my car disconnected some of the vac lines which caused the bov not to work all the time, which then wrecked all the seals in the turbo due to compressor surge and I had to have the whole thing rebuilt lol *sigh*

im sorry mitch but porting the wastgate is not gonna make any difference to my problem i think liam is talking about the compressor side of the turbo

i already have the wastegate ported as the silly ebay exhaust was causing my boost to creep

but yeah its the turbo stall thats the problem i don mind turbos dying a little prematurely as ive never had a bov yet lol due to my distaste in the noise they make
and its a fine excuse to go bigger lol

but you got any ideas on the plugs mitch?

If you don\'t like the noise just get a recirc valve like OEM then, I am running 9s all round

ok well i never knew it had an oem one as there was not one on it when i got the car you see ill see how it goes cheers for the info

For plugs - I think most people go with BUR9EQ all round - they work fine and arn\'t bank breakers. There is a platinum version - but really not worth the money - just change the regular ones once a year or if you flood it badly

the hat · February 04, 2010, 03:28:18 PM

ok 9s all round i is then

I have an OEM recirc valve if you want it, although if you are running higher than stock boost it might leak past it. And secondly you don\'t have anywhere to plumb it to as you have a front mount, you would have to weld in a custom bung for a recirc to vent to, which is why it has been changed to run a atmospheric bov.

What sort is the BOV you have? I have a dual drive one that has 2 ports, the smaller port opens at lower day to day driving and is quiet like stock, the larger port opens on higher boost and when you are giving it the beans, its not UBER loud, but loud enough to know its a bov lol did you want to maybe swap? What sort of HKS one is it?

the hat · February 04, 2010, 11:08:55 PM

im really not sure its big and made of shiney metal and says hks on it im gonna give it a try and see what like if i dont like it i can put phoos up and we could maybe come o some sort of deal lol

on the recirc fron only thing i would need to do is make a hole on the intake pipe to vent too

the hat · February 05, 2010, 07:17:19 PM

right fitted dumpvalve and the problem is alot better but not completely gone so i thin i will try another dumpvalve on the cold side also lol
