Astra Turbo Dump Valve and Large Plenum Installation

[@deanoscott]

Quite like the time lapse idea although the engine sounds could b doing with being in real time.

[@tpvalley]

U know a good mechanic by the fact he uses a socket like u NOT a screwdriver like others!

[@chrispix]

@jalatesta Best place is from the fuel pressure regulator. That's where the video shows me T-ing off the vacuum line. This line is manifold pressure and will be what your BOV requires.

[@douglascardinalli4995]

Where did you get the intake pipes, if possible could leave a link. Thank you

[@xXRosscoUkXx]

flutter is compressor surge. its air being passed back through the turbo cause it cant move forward due to the throttle plate being closed. hense why BOV are fitted :)

[@chrispix]

The flutter sound that eventually snaps the turbo shaft in half?

[@howlermonkey80]

Top video mate, I live in germany any idea where I could the kit complete and price range please? Keep up the good work :-)

would i be able to fit a turbo on my 1.8 SRI MK5?

[@LMJG19]

Can you tell me were did you get that new piece that goes on top the throtle body?

[@andrela96]

can you install a dump valve without a turbo???

[@htyhh]

so the plenum acts like a buffer for air ? i think that would hurt performance if it doesn't have other mods like a larger turbo

[@chrispix]

Basically it means the inlet to the throttle is consistent rather than being narrowed down like on the standard plenum. It does hurt performance a bit if everything else is standard, there's a little more lag a bit like when you install a bigger intercooler. I only had it installed for a few months. I was planning more mods but never got around to it.

Hey Chris, have you still got your Astra? I have a TS SRI Turbo in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Was wondering if you think the larger plenum is worth it?

[@chrispix]

Hey, yep still got it. Sadly not had the time or money to work on it anymore. If you're planning on tuning and getting loads of power out of the engine or you want a different look, then it's probably worth it. I personally went back to standard.

[@titin200]

ok, why did you end up going back to standard, it currently has a dump pipe with full exhaust, front mount cooler a tune and few other things. It boost to around 17ish psi. Goes pretty well.

[@chrispix]

Sounds like the large plenum would do well on your astra then :) I just wanted to go back to the standard look and feel. Planning to sell one day too.

[@jasononeil5614]

Nope you won't get the sound but you can buy fake sounding dump valves but what's the point, turbos sound better ;)

[@Weihrauch88]

@bigbadryster Helmet... Its the predecessor to the VXR! GSI/SRI-T Z20LET 2.0 Turbo... Learn your facts before spouting off shit

[@mark661]

Don't timelapse the engine:D

[@jesusloveyou9523]

I would not put that on my car lol
