turbo xs rfl sound clip

the forge has a silicone adapter piece that connects to that rubber nipple then connects to the bov. so you are saying i could use that silicone hose to connect that to the rfl?
Yes that's how mines connected.
 
FWIW, I just bought an RFL from a forum member and tried it out last week in place of my TurboXS Type-S. I was very surprised to find that it didn't sound as good (or as loud) as my S did. I played with the packing washers and had it adjusted just right, but it isn't nearly as sensitive on my setup as what I already had. It took a lot to get it to blow off. I am at only 8 psi though, and I'm sure that made a difference.

I need to make a clip of my Type-S sometime. People would s*** if they could hear it. I can blow off at only 1 psi and I get a very loud psycho-turkey with the factory piping.
 
wow, that clip sounded real good. i've got the mam fmic kit coming and it has a round flange on the charge pipe. is the how this bov mounts?

Ok so I had to ask the wife to tape it....this is what we get. Enjoy guys.

not to be a pain in the ass...but do you think you could get a sound clip from inside the car to??? it would be a huge favor to ask. and maybe just at idle revving the car and some more drive byes. i don't know of anyone around where i live that has this so i can't just ask them, so right now, your my only hope!!!!! thanx
 
I'll get those for you it'll be a day or so. Also for me sitting still with no load on the car with the GT28RS I dont get much pressure built up so the sitting still vent isnt that great. When I had the stock T25R it was much better just revvin'.

Does the TurboXS Type RFL have an adjustable spring like the Greddy Type-S?
Was it designed for low boost (less than 10 PSI) applications?
 
no adjustable spring...it has washers inside it more washers = more pressure required.

Hmm. Both my Type-S and RFL have a spring. I didn't know the Type-S spring was adjustable unless you used washers. Mine works right on the money with the cap snugged down and just the spring in it.
 
I've added 1 washer to my RFL. I'm about to add 1 more, because I'm having stalling issues at all times.

I put 1 washer in, and it was cool, it would only try to stall every so often. But now it's trying to stall alot again, so I'm going to add another washer.

It get's a little quieter wach time you add a washer, but it is Really F$%#@ Loud as advertised.
 
There are also screws on the outside of the BOV that need to be tightned. It's a little loose if you pull on the BOV, which could be why I am having some issues.

Car runs good though.
 
Here is a pic of the BOV I'm seriously thinking about getting with the blow by MAF setup.
SU and MAM are both developing the pre-cut "cold side" hardpipe needed:

I just hope it's comparable to the Turbosmart Megasonic which I will never be able to afford:

agreed, the rfl when it was on my car, had to be at 5psi and a high rpm the blow off, i swaped it out for a turbo xs type-s and the system can actually blow off now...
the rfl has a hard spring in there... even when it is adjusted all the way out... but it did sould really nice when it did go off...
check my sig, that is the type-s

Are you saying the RFL won't blow off sometimes? Is it inefficient? I'm only asking because I read that it is designed for 10-25 PSI. I don't plan on boosting more than 8 PSI and just sold my Greddy Type-S to go a different route.
 
i wouldnt recommend it, it wouldnt blow off for my 4psi system, i dont think it will perform well on a 6psi and lower system, nto to say it wont work on yours, because just because i am running 4psi, ur turbo might push more air at 4psi.. get what i am saying??
the turbo i have is a Eclipse t25(td04) its a lil bit smaller than the standard t25 that the msp has..

i would say go with the turboxs type-h which is the one i have..
it has the nice whoosh sound to it, and is a lil bit quieter than the rfl..
