Recirculating the greddy?

IDK thats what worked for me. Thats the only logical reason I could come up with on why it made such a difference. I didnt change anything else (spring tension, etc.)
 
Since i'm recirculating i just opened the valve a bunch. No worry about stalling since it's recirc. But apparently that doesn't work for everyone. Goodluck to everyone that can't get my setup to work.
 
I only get turkey at around 4k rpms with a heavy load. i can't remember what spring setting i have in there. but i remember playing around with them. there are two springs, if you can't get it soft enough to stop the turkey take the smaller spring out and play around with it some more.
(i'm recirculating with pure ghetto piping)
 
just replaced my old HKS on my hiboost kit with the greddy type-s. btw, i really hate how close the flange is to the INJEN nipple. anyway, i hooked up the greddy (recirc) with the softest setting and i still get the turkey flutter except it is slower/longer than with my HKS. with the HKS it was just a short/quick flutter.

i've been searching on the forums and noticed that a lot of people say the turkey is compressor surge and others say it's not (it's normal). so which is it? for those that say it's normal, how can you tell that you're car is getting comp. surge then? (sorry for the newb questions)

anyway, i opened the type-s and took out the BIGGER spring; leaving the smaller one in. with the soft setting, i still got turkey. oh, i'm not using heater hose from an auto store. i'm using something softer(a little bigger than 1"). i picked it up at an ace hardware store a long time ago with dr.sound (victor).

it was the perfect shape for my old HKS, which i had to cut in half because i tried to hook up the greddy with it facing the passenger side. no luck.

i rehooked my old HKS again but i had to use the extra heater hose that i had laying around since i couldn't use the one i cut in half. now this is the weird part. i ran the car and i still got the turkey, but instead of several flutters like i had before, i just got one flutter that was barely a flutter. it wasn't until i had to go into higher boost that i got more flutters, but it was like maybe 3 flutters or so. my greddy is back on but i'm using the soft hose because it's the only one that i can get to fit without the 19mm adapter. i get like 10 flutters right now.

so i'm wondering if the hose had anything to do with it. i am thinking that it shouldn't. i can't test the heater hose with the greddy since i dont have a 19mm adapter. i ordered one last night though. anyway, i'm wondering if i'll get a similar result using the heater hose on the greddy. less flutter? i guess i'll see soon.

anyone care to share thoughts?
 
UPDATE (if anyone cares):

my friend and i were trying different things with the setup last night. i didn't get my 19mm adapter yet, but we rigged something so that we could still use a 3/4 heater hose instead of the big soft rubber hose from before. we looped it around, making sure there weren't any kinks. i also took out the smaller spring. the turkey sound is reduced a lot more. most of the time i'll just get one flutter and at most i've gotten ~3. sometimes when shift i don't hear anything at all, flutter or swoosh. i'm supposed to be getting my 19mm adapter today so i'm going to try it again to see what happens.

with my type-s recirculated (with the 19mm adaptor), I got major flutter. I have never been able to eliminate fultter with full recirculation. I would love a solution.
 
hey casopolis,
You helped me with my setup before, so maybe I can repay the favor. Do you have an aftermarket FMIC in your setup?

yes. hey just PM me so we don't clog up the thread.
 
casopolis, do you have pics of your setup?

also, has anyone tried messing with the angled nipple yet by adding from a dedicated pressure source?
 
I did this using the brake booster line as the vacuum source for the stock bpv in-line from that 19mm elbow to the recirc inlet on the Injen CAI. It freed up my Greddy to go to atmosphere and it works great. I just pm'd casololis with the details. I'll get some photos up tonight of my set up for everyone else.

venting any of the air to the atmosphere serves no purpose for your engine. I want a setup that recirculates 100% (no BOV), and has no turkey.

Has anyone tried two diverter (or bypass) valves? Sounds stupid but I am desperate.
 
my turkey is extremely unpredictable. some times there's not a single "greddy" sound coming out of it (refering to the high pitched pschhhh) and other times it does that with 3 turkeys attached to it... but usually when just driving around its more of a ssshhhhhhhh

how do you remove the springs??
 
remove the 6 (i think theres 6) allen head screws on the purple part (be careful and keep a good firm grip on the two halves as you take the screws/bolts out) and the 2 springs are inside there
 
i was reading on some other random forums about the second nipple on the type s. many people say that they have hooked that nipple up to a pressure source and it actually aids in pushing the valve up when the throttle body is closed. anyone know if teeing off the line going to the first nipple would suffice as a pressure line going to the second nipple? if it doesnt rain tomorrow i may give that a shot.

i dont think teeing will work. pressure should be going into that angled nipple. the only time you'd be getting pressure is when you're in boost. when you let off the throttle, it's actually helping to keep the valve closed cuz it goes back to vacuum. at least this is the way i am imagining it.

the only thing i can think of is drilling a hole into the IC pipe after the turbo and feeding a hose into the 2nd nipple.

i dunno, someone correct me if i'm wrong.


*about the spring* i'm running with the bigger spring. i am thinking of using the smaller spring again since i'm barely getting any flutter with my current set up, using the big spring
