    Wat the hell!! Why??

    That assumes it wasnt opening properly before the hose change, in which case a larger diameter hose is irrelevant. A BOV doesnt read volume it reads pressure. Either way, changing the hose could only possibly affect when a BOV opens, not how it sounds...at least not any way I can imagine. A...

    Wat the hell!! Why??

    As usual Poodles is right on target. How is a bigger signal line to the BOV going to affect its sound? I would love to hear the logic behind this comment.

    What is the risk of boosting hard on BHG motor?

    As long as you dont severely overheat, your head "should" be fine, but why risk it. The rest of the motor...not so much. You have very high odds of killing the bearings and ending up with rod knock bad enough to require a new crank when rebuilding. If the rods go knocking at high rpm and...

    open wastegate

    If thats the question this has been gone over and over ad nauseum. The mk3 is quite capable of REASONABLE gas mileage with sane driving and simple fuel saving techniques. If you want exponentially more mileage, get an econobox. /thread

    CNC career advice

    Ive been around tools and machines pretty much from the time I got my first tricycle, lol. Thats good advice though. I experienced that same thing back when I learned printing. What I learned in school was nothing like what I needed to know in the production world. I was fortunate to get...

    halloween costumes

    wouldnt you rather be a "dickwad"? to be honest I do the same costume every year. I used to do some special FX makeup back when I was in the movie biz. One year I decided to make use of the holiday to deliver a message. I make myself into an accident victim and wear a blood stained shirt...

    explain the pcv system to me

    I see, so it only needs to be positive by any degree to work, and the gases are not in actuality being "vacuumed" out? I happily admit that my understanding of the PCV system, especially when it comes to turbo applications, was deficient. :nono: (never too old to learn.)

    explain the pcv system to me

    I thought JJ just explained that the vacuum in the accordian hose was next to non-existant? Are you now saying there is enough to provide postitive ventilation without the system plumbed into the TB post butterfly? 'Cause if you are NOW im cornfused lol.
