Nice video. I've ran the vacuum off the manifold with a TurboSmart 50/50 for about a year now. A little bit of flutter when under vacuum or light driving instead of it going off all the time. Well worth it if you have an aftermarket BOV. It may be necessary to adjust the BOV's spring preload a little to make sure it is still shut at idle and goes off how you like it.

[@IPH4TFRANKI]

How much did you adjust

[@tylerguy9981]

did you have to adjust your turbo smart blah valve

[@cheesynibblets4960]

It's cause flutter is kinda bad, but sounds immacukate

[@BLK_GOD]

Explain why the bov needs to be aftermarket if you are doing this so the bov stops going off non-stop Like what logic is that lol

[@cheesynibblets4960]

@@BLK_GOD just cause the process is being co trolled by the ecu. You'll get the blow off constantly if you don't by pass it and run directly from the symposer which is a true vaccume source.

[@DSuave03-Me]

This is literally perfect oh my god why did you not show up in my recommended before!!!

[@jemmisviolonchi2623]

I actually had a chance to try it out before ya made the vid, i can definitely vouch for ya, this shit makes the blow off valve work sooooooooooooooo much better, throttle response feels way more responsive, also, for anybody wanting to try this, reset your ecu by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 15 mins, drive regularly for about 15-20km, and that'll give the car a nice little refresh and it will learn your new driving data. My car runs very, very smooth now.

[@Nickjoenap]

Yeah I made this video a few months ago and after driving with it for a while it’s sooo much better. No more annoying blow off valve noise every time I let off the throttle and I get more turbo flutter. It also felt a little faster but not sure if it actually is or not

[@Nickjoenap]

Siye Boss yeah but it’s not enough in this situation to do much damage since it will release the pressure if it gets high enough

[@BLK_GOD]

Please share with us how theoretically this would make your car run smoother lol

[@IvanJrFOST]

But it's that bad for your turbo? I want to know how reliable is that

[@tacosalsa5748]

@@IvanJrFOST I believe turbo flutter is back pressure going back to the turbine, don't think it would hurt it depending how much back pressure but longivity of the turbo might put stress on the bearings

[@TheDutchGuy110]

I just did the vacuum hose while i was cleaning the intake valves, before replacing the intake manifold with the Mountune one. It has a "bunghole" with a little hex plug to tap into with a barb. I added some polyester wrap to the hose so it looks like the other hoses in the engine bay, i like the OEM+ look now i am waiting for the ecu to reset by disconnecting the battery.

[@Noah-nm5dz]

If anyone can help me id appreciate it, I have turbo smart, I installed everything like the tutorial stated but sitting in idle my rpm’s move 200-500 rpms and when I’m in idle and rev it , it sits at 4k rpm’s and doesn’t go down for like a minute.

[@jesseiacovelli8164]

Can you run the true vacuum line to the stock component? Or do you have to have an aftermarket BOV?

[@keithr5591]

So you prefer thd compressor surge sound over the bov whoosh sound? Bc you're getting a sound no matter which way you do it. Compressor surge is unhealthy for your turbo while the bov whoosh is healthy for the turbo. But to each it their own.

[@im_xaxiis1489]

Wrong , compressor surge under load is bad for your turbo, Since the flutter here is under no boost it’s poses no real risk to the turbine. If you fluttered after a full boost pull it would be bad, but this is under vacuum

[@UGFluffyTurtle]

Just a thought, but wouldn't you want the hoses to be resistant to oil blowby? Silicone, while fine with coolant, isn't the best for oil. Ofc you could get around this by having a catch can, but otherwise keep in mind that there will be some oil contact with the vaccum hose.

[@ollie5065]

I did this ab a week ago I have a turbo smart bov and now I can hardly hear my bov hard to tell in the video but under no or really light boost does your bov make more of a pft noise just wondering on how I could meet right in the middle to get it to vent to the point of me being able to hear it you think I just need to loosen up my bov a bit

[@thinmint6778]

did you find the solution?

[@oaktown7509]

So what does this really do for the car? What improvements were there besides BOV sounds and also isn’t the flutter bad for turbo haha

[@Nickjoenap]

The flutter would be bad for the turbo if the car had a really tight bov or didn’t have one at all. The flutter only happens under little load and is t really a big deal. Obviously it’s not great for the turbo but it’s not going to cause damage if you don’t abuse it. The real benefit is the bov doesn’t vent when it doesn’t need to and it will supposedly hold a little more boost this way. The stock one is electronically controlled so it releases way to often

[@ashleysharp7563]

Great vid, I've got an open induction kit, but a standard recirc valve. Will this be OK with that or is it best to get an uprated recirc valve?

[@dominicdarchangelo9744]

Try this with a dv+ diverter valve. I have one on mine and it flutters so much but I wonder if it’ll be louder with the true vacuum

[@Nickjoenap]

I’m sure it would flutter more, I want to switch my boomba out for a gfb dv+ adjustable bov but it’s just not high on the priorities list right now

[@justinfeasel455]

[@damoissasicko]

Aye dude. What's the exact model of your DV+? I've had mine for a month or so and played around with adjustments but I'm not noticing a difference from the factory bov.. Any chance you can help me out incase I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe just bought the wrong one lol

[@stupidkid6581]

Sounds great but could possibly shorten the life of the turbo. We all love the flutter sound but the truth is is that the spooly snails hate it. Is it still holding up okay Nickjoenap?

Thanks!

[@slowst15]

I’m just seeing this video and I saw my car already came with that mod lol. can I run the car without the hose ? i kinda wanna take it off but idk if it’s okay to just take the hose off and leave it as it is

[@MinecraftDAB]

Don’t know if you did it or not yet but I wouldn’t. Unless you have all of the previous parts of the sound symposer. You could also just take off the house re route the BOV cable to where it was and put a small plug where the hose connects to instead of it having its little nub

[@6ryceee]

[@Nickjoenap]

Calib Linex I’ve had it for several thousand miles and haven’t had any issues. I don’t think there are any negative effects if you don’t purposely make the flutter noise all the time

[@caliblinex103]

Nickjoenap cool, I’ll probably keep it for a while as long as I don’t see issues. And it’s tempting to make it flutter all the time lmao sounds so good

[@ReaganReese]

This might be me just talking out of my behind, but I think that if flutter is happening without real positive pressure, it can't be that damaging or anything. I reckon if you had flutter on boost, that is a ton more force on that turbo, but that's not what we're seeing or hearing in this video.. These cars factory have slight flutter already, albeit on barely touching the gas, but it's there. And lets say we do kill the turbo, then we just upgrade it for a big one! Perfectly justifiable! ; )

[@Kraedt]

Hey, not sure if you're still active but I did this to my ST and am hardly getting any turbo flutter. There's maybe a tiny tiny bit of flutter but I absolutely cannot hear it over the sound of my engine / exhaust. I still have a stock intake + K&N air filter, but assuming I did everything right, it should still be somewhat close to the volume you showed in this vid. I'm wondering if maybe the BOV is loose? Basically ~2500 rpm or less (no boost) i hear a quieter "pshhh" and sometimes a little flutter, and above 3k rpm / more boost it's just the regular "pshhh".

[@Nickjoenap]

A tighter bov would help but having an aftermarket intake helps a lot and removing the sound deadening on the hood

[@jamers99]

Can I still run to a true vacuum source if I'm using a Mountune Recirc Valve? If so, are there any advantages? More or less flutter?

[@Nickjoenap]

Jason Photography Yes I believe so. It’s supposed to hold boost better and not release pressure so much. Probably more flutter

[@andreweastman1058]

I really like this mod but I do need to know one thing where is that boost pressure going when u let off the throttle and the blow off valve doesn’t go off

[@Nickjoenap]

It goes through the turbo which makes the flutter sound on the wheel of the turbo. Normally it would be bad for the turbo if it was under high boost pressure but since it’s routed to true vacuum it only does it when it’s under low boost and rpm. It only does this when you are trying to though. With normal driving the bov doesn’t open fully but still lets out the pressure so it’s a lot quieter since you aren’t building as much boost

[@AverageOnPC]

What intake do you have, your turbo is so loud, from the video it just looks like k&n filter but i have a green filter and my turbo isnt that loud, im gonna get everything to do the true vac source later this week! great video!

[@Nickjoenap]

I’m running a Cobb filter, (green filter should be fine) a custom air box, and a bigger metal intake pipe with an after market elbow. I don’t know what brand the pipe is because I bought it used but any aftermarket pipe will help make the turbo louder.

[@Nickjoenap]

Joseph Medina There’s a chance something could be wrong, just make sure the hoses attach at the same points and you cap it where I did. It’ll still make a pshhh noise when under a decent amount of boost, it’s just a little softer and quieter. The flutter only happens when letting off after building boost in low rpm. Check your boost gauge to make sure you’re building boost and it’s releasing the pressure after letting off

[@dtfreshh-]

mine is 2013 so the line you connect looks little different, but mine too doesn't flutter like this

[@IPH4TFRANKI]

2013, here, I've don't this and it still doesn't flutter and the bov is super quiet.

[@Nickjoenap]

dtfreshh the flutter doesn’t happen a lot. If you rev it with the hood open or build boost and let off the throttle under 2500 rpm in 3rd or higher it flutters. You’ll need at least an aftermarket intake filter with the cover removed to hear it. A full intake will help and removing the sound deadening under the hood helps the flutter be louder too

i found them on ebay

Do you know if it works on a HKS bov?

[@Nickjoenap]

Not sure

[@Nickjoenap]

I do think the hks bov solves the problem this fixes though since it has to use the exhale kit

[@MrCulpster]

HKS should only work off of true vacuum

[@hunterstahlheber]

I just did this mod and routed it exactly like you showed in the video. I’m not getting the same flutter that you are. I have a stock intake with a green air filter and a turbo smart blow off valve. Did I do something wrong or is it just because my intake is stock? All I hear is more burbles from my exhaust.

[@Nickjoenap]

It probably won’t be very loud with a stock intake

[@hunterstahlheber]

@@Nickjoenap thank you for you’re response! Does your elbow make that much of a noise difference? It looks like you’re intake is stock besides the elbow?

[@Nickjoenap]

@@hunterstahlheber It seemed to make a little bit of a difference. The intake pipe makes a big difference too. I also removed the black sound deadening from under the hood and that helped hear more turbo noise

[@sur3tv]

is 3/16 vacuum line okay to use for this? if 1/16 not available

[@sur3tv]

also did you use teflon tape when u put the boost port on the symposer plate? mine wont go in by hand i gotta use a wrench just wanna make sure thats normal? its a steeda kit

[@Nickjoenap]

ahac not sure if the vacuum line would fit or not I’d ask steeda. You probably don’t need Teflon tape since it’s that tight they probably made it to where it sealed when it’s screwed in

[@sur3tv]

@@Nickjoenap tried it and everything seems to be okay, where is your spring loaded at? all the way closed or open? and when your bov goes off at around 3k-3.5k revs is the pshh really quiet compared to beforee?

[@andreweastman1058]

Nickjoenap I have the 50/50 but it will still work right?

[@joehuff2292]

If your interested in getting turbo flutter dont do this . You can buy a go fast bits diverter valve and it never vents to atmosphere it flutters.

[@richardlapoint1845]

Yep and holds pressure properly without putting undo stress on the impeller bearings

[@tjlockett9968]

I have a 2015 Ford Fusion 2.0t and I have the boomba sound supposer delete and BOV. What size did port you need for the port on the sound Symposer delete kit? (My Boomba kit has a tap already and I would just have to screw in the port) it should work right?

[@Nickjoenap]

Tj Lockett I’m not sure what the port size is since mine came with one but if you can figure that out I’m sure it would work

[@Casey.mojo.fit7]

Hey bro, what exactly are the pros and cons of this? I know it sounds great but what is bad about it

[@Nickjoenap]

Technically it puts extra stress on the turbo but the way that it’s set up keeps it from fluttering under high load so the cons are next to none. Some people don’t even run bovs on high horsepower cars and they’re fine so this shouldn’t cause any problems

[@Casey.mojo.fit7]

@@Nickjoenap sweet thanks bro

Too much flutter.

Nope. Still works great with no problems

Wonder if you can do this (mod) to the stock valve?

I’m sure it would work but I don’t know if I’d recommend it since the stock valve isn’t as strong

[@DrunkenJoe]

I've had the turbosmart 50/50 on my car for a few months and I'm looking for other options. It's way to loud even with stiffening the spring, and it blows of constantly. Super annoying. Cool video, I might try this just for fun before I remove the 50/50. Gives me a reason to finally get around to installing my symposer delete.

[@Nickjoenap]

Joe B This should help with both of those things. It makes it quite a bit quieter and it doesn’t go off near as much. Also holds boost a little better

[@mrjewmachine]

I've got the same BOV and can confirm that this helps BIG TIME. Super easy to do and it makes the BOV much less obnoxious
