The greatest sound in the world...


Recommended Posts

That, is the definitive example of turbo stall. For those who don't know, it's when the throttle is lifted, the throttle plate closes on the inlet manifold/throttle body, the air bounces back and usually gets expelled via a dumpvalve...but, if you run a high pressure valve as I do meant for large boost, the air comes back through and hits the fins of the compressor side of the turbo, making that sound.

It's NOT a bad thing, does add a small ammount of lag (marginal) but fine. Doesn't do the turbo any harm though. That's one of those big debates that can go on and on.

I like it :unsure:

THAT was the sound I've always tried to get...tried it on my MR2, even though a T67-25G through a screamer pipe was immense...it's just not the same thing.

It's simple to achieve if you run the filter through the rad and out to the front bumper (fits just next to the Blitz FMIC). First time I drove it after the mod, I shot my duff, to be blunt.

Stock turbo Gaz....and stock boost.

If it ran higher boost it'd only get sexier lol

I had my bov off once and it sounded completely different, like this chirping noise which faded.

wen i had my evo 5 alot of the boys on the mlr wer removing the dump vale and blocking up the pipes and they wher geting that turbo chatter .there was a big debate about how safe it was for the engine .there wher cars that where doing that for years with no probs but i dint fancy taking the chance my self cant beat that sound apart from when an rx7 passes you :lol:

if you have ceramic blades in the tubby then there is a "small" chance you might have soem issues.

if you have steel blades. then its save.

i do not believe that air at poxy pressures can bend and shag metal to the point where the turbo would suffer. ive ran with turbos and no bov for a while, with no issues.

The theory is not that it bends but creates resistance against the components. pressurized turbo air is actually very powerful as far as i know.

but i think its ok, my turbo was gone anyway when i done it. Tobys been doing it for ages and his seems fine.
