Very curious those of you with more boost can you here the turbo at all? Mine is bone stock right now, I would love to hear the turbo. Any upgrades that you have done to hear it spool?

Cody,

What intake did you go with? I would love to hear a little noise like a diesel truck :). Lol not doing a bov, then it would be a maverick ricer

Ive got it installed....it wont pop off just revving the engine in neutral.....makes me wonder if I got the spring a little heavy. It shows on Tial's website..... 16-19in-hg gets plain spring, and 13-15 gets the white spring. I have about 16-17 at idle full operating temp, and closer to 15-16 when cold.

Guess Ill wait and see what happens once I get on 4 wheels again.....waiting on halo locker to show up!

Drop it into low on your favorite trail and you should be able to hear it.

I was driving around dunes in high and could barely hear it, took my 6 yr old daughter out for a ride and put it in low gear, all i could hear was the turbo.

I know sand is a lot of load and the lower gearing rev's higher but it was still kinda cool

They say it's better on the turbo and you get quicker throttle response Just think the turbo spinning 100000 rpms Boosting then when the tb closes all that boost pressure has nowhere to go. So it tries to slow down the turbo thats spinning that 100000 rpms to 0 rpms. It can't be good for it. But I think at stock boost (5psi )it's fine it's just when you get a reflash (12psi) you mite want to get one

From Garrett Turbo:

The layout of the turbocharger in a given application is critical to a properly performing system. Intake and exhaust plumbing is often driven primarily by packaging constraints. We will explore exhaust manifolds in more detail in subsequent tutorials; however, it is important to understand the need for a compressor bypass valve (commonly referred to as a Blow-Off valve) on the intake tract and a Wastegates for the exhaust flow.
The Blow-Off valve (BOV) is a pressure relief device on the intake tract to prevent the turbo’s compressor from going into surge. The BOV should be installed between the compressor discharge and the throttle body, preferably downstream of the charge air cooler (if equipped). When the throttle is closed rapidly, the airflow is quickly reduced, causing flow instability and pressure fluctuations. These rapidly cycling pressure fluctuations are the audible evidence of surge. Surge can eventually lead to thrust bearing failure due to the high loads associated with it.
Blow-Off valves use a combination of manifold pressure signal and spring force to detect when the throttle is closed. When the throttle is closed rapidly, the BOV vents boost in the intake tract to atmosphere to relieve the pressure; helping to eliminate the phenomenon of surge.
Mine cannot be heard.....its setup to recirculate back into the air-box. Although myself, I like the sound of a quality BOV, others may not!
