Having trouble with my TurboXS BOV...
I have the TurboXS Type-H BOV and last week, I was packing a few friends around and noticed that the "whooosh" sound was missing during my shifting. (high revs, low revs, didn't matter.) So we opened up the hood, and rev'd a few more times and noticed that the valve wasn't opening. Had a bowling date to get to so left it as is and went bowling for a couple hours. Then after I dropped the last friend off at their house, I began the road home and then I noticed some faint "whoosh" sounds, progessively getting louder, until the BOV was at full audible level. So I kinda left it at that and it's been working ever since...until today. This time I wasn't packing any friends so it couldn't be that the BOV just didn't like the company I kept, but now the valve isn't opening again.
Anyone else have this problem? Is this normal? Is it my friends? So now I'm considering getting the stock BOV and slapping that back on. But before I do that, I thought I'd consult the gurus on this board, as I'm pretty much a newbie at this. Any clues folks? BTW, the only engine mods, or any mods for that matter is the TurboXS BOV...

Sounds like there may be something between the piston and the bore. I sent you an e-mail. Call me tomorrow and we'll sort this out.

BTW...
BTW,
I'm not implying that Mark and TurboXS puts out shoddy equipment. Nothing could be further than the truth. I was just figuring that it was my own ineptness that was the cause. As can be seen by the speed of the reply from Mark, it goes to prove that Mark really cares about his customers! And it goes a long way. I WILL order more from TurboXS, thats for sure. (can we say Unichip?) Mark: I tried your suggestions as per your e-mail and it works great! I e-mailed you some followup questions... |

Reset the ECU
After getting the type-h bov from Mark, was getting alot of 'back flutter' on the throttle up. An ECU reset cleared that up.
Bout a month later, had Mark send me the type-h RFL (yes, it is loud ). Didnt see a need for ECU reset. Well, a week after install (last night) the BOV started getting stuck (just short of closing), or not opening at all. Just took the cap out, rotated the plunger 90 degrees (beautifully machined, mark!), and stuck it back in. Then did an ECU reset. Works like a champ! It is clear that the ECU learns vacuum needed to open the BOV. G'day! E BTW - i have an AT and am constantly abusing my scoobie with throttle-ups to fire off the BOV, 'specially while passing hondas with their windows down! |

back-flutter?

At any rate my car is sitting overnight with the battery disconnected, hopefully after the ECU reset it will all go away. Perhaps Mark will see this thread and tell me to add a few more washers... --Greg-- |

I'm fluttering as well. Somebody needs to check this post and report back to me. I emailed TurboXS tech email. It sounds kinda gurgly, and there is some red specks of oily stuff. Could be internal bleeding?
