Tial "style" 50mm bov

[RBPOWA]

Has anyone had any issues with them? mine seems to be delayed by a few seconds, boost will actually go back through the turbo before it opens.

The flange is no more than 90 degree's against flow and about 200mm down stream from the TB, has a good vacume sorce, ive tried changing the spring.

it's on a rb20det with 16psi running t3t4 type turbo, any help will be appreciated.

I run one and had no end of problems with it.

One of the problems I found is the spring in them is too hard,
miles to hard.

I built a tester to check seat pressure, and it took over 25psi of pressure to lift it off the seat,
but that's with no vacuum,

with vacuum it was not much better.

I put an 8 psi wastegate spring and that helped, but still no good.

In the end I cut the std spring, took about 3/4 of the length of it out,
and now it works sweet.

The other problem I had with another was just plain crap quality.
Kept sliding on an angle and jamming,
and to fix that one I put it back on trademe and sold it.

Yea i thought the spring was a bit over the top, i'l prob end up cutting it down like you said.. i just couldnt justify the near $400 mark for the geniune one.. cheers

the legit tial springs show up on trademe frequently for cheap, that might be an option if you didnt want to $&#$% around with the spring in there.

I tried even the genuine tial springs and found them too stiff in the non genuine gate.

Best with a std spring was a 7psi tial wastegate spring in it,
which actually allowed it to open.

Mine now with the cut spring, it just not quite open at idle,

Good BOVs, Just gota cut the spring to suit as Matt has said.

didnt the centre come out of one of yours matt, and end up jammed in an intake runner or something similar? or am i thinking of the wrong person

yeah, and that,

fixed that with loctite, but still had spring issues after that.

Ive got a style one and the spring is a bit on the hard side, tried running my friend’s original tial bov and it worked better but didn’t sound as good for some reason. I will get a original one eventually when I get round to it.

Fuk, for the price of a new 'style' one just get a 2nd hand plumback turbosmart or something

[RBPOWA]

i'll pass

[tsoob]

been saying this for a long time now,,

buy it cheap buy it twice!!

actually a little O/T but my mate ryan is due his 4th turbo, and this time he realises that a cheap chinese one is not the answer.

Do the smart thing and buy a genuine part to start with.

I have in stock GFB basic at $270. Also it wont be very long until the MSE bov is available (we are product launching it here next saturday)
