alta twurbo vacum routing

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.

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.

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?
