I have a question for you guys. I am getting a delay in my blow off valve. I dont know if it has anything to do with my vacum routing. I am also getting a puttery type noise before the blow off valve goes off...i dont know if this this is normal or not but i currently have the blow off valve and the wategate pulling vac from the intake manifold. any one with any info please help.

 

Have you tried emailing ALTA yet? I think that would be your best bet.

good idea i am waiting to hear about them on the down pipe...but they also say in the instructions to tap a fitting into the intercooler elbow...but i dont really feel like taping anything

 

My BOV is teed to the intake manifold, wastegate and boost gauge is bung from the M7 DFICit already pre tap from M7.

 

are you getting any type of perferated noise simmilar to a sequental bov before the blow off sounds?

 

No that is not normal. How do you have your BOV set?

The best way to set it, is take the spring out and cut in in half, or 60/40. Re-install the spring and run the adjustment all the way in to the last ring. What has happened in the past if you dont cut the spring is, the piston gets stuck open as it comes all the way out of the cylinder and gets cocked and wont go back in.

 

i actually tryed this with two different bov...i switched to my greddy that i ran on my vw for about 2 years....still getting the same sequential type noise before the bov sounds....any ideas....its kinda bothering me cause i dont think it is to normal...and i wasnt getting no sound like that before the kit went it....almost like im getting blow back through the turbo or something.

 

can you e-mail some pic to me to look at? www.eastsidemini@hawaii.rr.com. I really think Alta should comment on this.

 

You need to have a proper boost source for correct wastegate and bov operation. Where exactly are you getting your boost/vac for your bov?

 

no

 

bov and wastegate are teed of the manifold.
