Thought my turbo was toast!!

Doesnt the car run rich as hell though with a BOV. I am new to turbo cars. From the sounds of other threads, using a BOV is not bad for your car but not great either.

Im not sure looks the same to me...but then again remember the BOV is operating the same way as the BPV did recirculation. So It doesn't really matter. That was the good thing about the HKS SSQ, you can either go recirc, or v-to-a. I want to v-to-a but as you said the car will run rich. In order that to happen, i need that chip to reprogram the ecu.

I have heard in this forum that going to 88 duro makes the car vibrate like an earthquake.
Let us know, when you install it how it feels.

What forum, please tell so I can maybe send it back for the 70...
 
I just called AWR and asked them about what you posted nonopr, they said that it would vibrate slightly with the harmonics it gives off only at idle. He also said that I prolly wouldn't even feel it. So I am going to install it tomorrow and find out wtf... He even confirmed with me if I do feel it he will replace it with the 70. So I will let you know.

I got off the phone with Turboxs. Those guys are great. They are refunding me the money of my Bypass valve and next week is when they get there new batch in that is machined differently, they are sending me the Hybrid BOV for free. Said I have been very patient with them. :) That makes me very happy. They also said there downpipe should be out by the end of april, which will bolt up right to the race pipe they came out with.

This is the BOV Mr Jake...??? Anyway, I have installed my mount and yes it does vibrate during the first mili seconds of launch, but after that everything is great. You can feel the difference right away of course with the engine not moving at all during high boost shifts. I do not feel the virbations during idle but I do feel them a little more when the A/C is running. But you know what, all wheel hop is almost gone and I can live with it. Although my conscious is telling to get the 70....(crazy)

So I'm going to keep it for now b/c remember I am going to install the turbo back soon when it finally gets here. So the 88 might be the best thing for the engine considering the hp and tq the car will have in total with all my mods...???
