I used to think the HKSSBOV could not leak, but now with my new har pipes and turning up the boost a little I think they can.
When boosting with the new pipes and slightly higher boost (16LBS CT60trim) I began to hear air leaking/fluttering and I would lose power. It felt and sounded like a boost leak. So I checked all the hose clamps and boosted again, but still had the leak.
This is when I started staring at my HKSSBOV screw that was backed out all the way. I always believed it didnt matter if it was all the way in or out, but I decided to tighten it about 6 turns in. This cured that High boost fluttering problem. I do not think this was compressor surge, but was a loose screw on the BOV. And yes I know its normal for these to flutter at LOW booost, but thats another debate. This was high boost!
Anyone else run into this problem?
