i can still hear fluttering when i let off on the throttle. i am running two hks ssqv one on the hot side right near the compressor housing and one on the cold side right at the throttle body...


what can i do to fix this issue,?

im having the same problem running one ssqv....but only in low boost conditions ill get flutter, under high boost the valve opens and i hear no flutter which is when it counts....when is it happening for you? do you hear the valves open at all?

i had to mess around with different vaccum sources/hoses to get the thing to work initially

Are your SSQVs the adjustable ones? You should loosen the screw so that it opens up under low boost.

I personally am switching to a different BOV, possibly the synapse on.

 

[alwayzspeedin]

they are non adjustable....during high boost i hear it alittle , more so during low boost

It doesn't have a black screw in the back of it?

Thats just BOV flutter, its not surge. Its a pretty common mix up.

 

[FLINTSTONESKID]

there is no adjustment screw on the newer ones. also, i dont thing you are hearing compressor surge but i would worry about it, especially at low boost levels, now if its happening at high boost, then id be concerned. my new SSQV is amazing, it blows off in a large puff then whistles as it gets lower.

thanx for the info everyone

switch to one synapse bov.i have it on my car although im on stock twins it works perfect and i get absolutely no flutter, their design works perfect

Ditch the junk ssqv and go with Tial.

 

[twinturbosupra94]

Yeah the SSQV has two different sounds under high and low boost. That flutter is normal of low boost.

I was just checking with the screw to make sure that it wasn't over tightened.

funny, since i have owned 3 tial bovs and each was shit...........

 

[gt40240]

The flutter is the low boost valve. I wouldnt worry

 

[TweakedIS300]

I have to disagree with a few of you guys. I have dual HKS ssqv's and i just recently started to get compressor surge no matter whether its at high or low boost i get surge. I used to have a faint whistle from the bov at low boost but that is now gone and i have flutter which i know is surge. I have quite a bit of surge at high boost aswell but my bov's still working then.

 

[NeoDestiny]

The fluttering sounds so great why wouldn't you want it.

I have a tial 50mm, and I get compressor surge.

 

[1GStoEnvy]

any one else with this problem?

 

[SupraWood]

I would be surprised if any of you are getting compressor surge. I have ssqbov's as well and they definitely flutter at low load, but I wouldn't call it surge. In fact both of mine are adjusted with the screws as far in as they go and are on the intake manifold side.

The fluttering (opening and closing of the valves) is a result of pressure waves bouncing between the throttle and turbo (or possibly intercooler, not sure). What gives everyone the impression that they are getting surge?

Yea, if you guys haven't checked out the Synapse I'd recommend looking into it. It's a great design, doesn't sound as good as the HKS/Tial/whatever (sounds more like a stock BOV), but it does its job 10x better than most any out there. The reason you hear a lot of sound from most aftermarket bov's is beacuse they restrict the escaping air. Kind of like letting the air slowly out of a balloon.. if you let out a tiny bit you can hear it squeal (BOV is similar), but if you let it all out at once you can't hear it (besides the pop). You want a BOV that will evacuate boost from the intake tract as soon as possible after the throttle closes, otherwise youll get flutter/surge. With the synapse you dont really get any at all.

No im not associated with these guys, just my humble opinion

Make sure you have to correct spring.
See how much vacum you're pullin, then get the right spring accoring to Tial's chart.
