EFR 6758 wheezy whistler
I've got this brand new EFR6758 that likes to wheeze and whistle as I breathe off the pedal. In and around 2500-3000rpm it sounds like when you get a hard booger stuck in your nose and it whistles.
So it's a leaky diaphragm on the interval BOV. Can't be good for performance. I bought the Turbosmart Kompact Shortie and it's all good now. Does anyone else around here have this problem? The problem is prevalent enough that Turbosmart manufactures a solution. So should I even bother putting a note in Borg Warners suggestion box? I really like the Turbosmart solution, so I'll keep it, but I'm really surprised that Borg Warner doesn't offer the option to upgrade the diaphragm so it doesn't suck. |
my bypass valve makes a whining/whistling sound at part throttle vacuum cruising.
a bit annoying... i read BW sells different springs or something for the bypass valve, but have not looked into this further. so turbosmart makes a diaphram for the bypass valve that solves this annoying sound? got a link? |
Yeah it's this thing: turbosmart
And that whistling could be indicative of that valve leaking. I tried buying the stronger spring, but Jegs had it on some indefinite backorder. But you know what? That f$$cking spring is their attempt to fix a problem they are aware of! Which is bull shit. eh I'll be mad until the $140 is long forgotten. Oh and the only thing I don't love about the turbosmart is that it gives a light flutter that the ricer bois love. |

JEGS seems to always be out of BW stuff, ill call up Industrial Injection in SLC, where i got my turbo and see if they have the other spring. ill post here if this spring solves the noise. |
Mudflap, what do you target for boost and what RPM do you hit it at with the EFR?
|
weird, this is such an old post and has nothing to do with boost/RPM.
So, uh, 27psi and hits it (finally) up at 4500rpm. That's over 375 lb-ft. |
As long as were reliving. I saw Greg on 'tube use the same fix for his turbo. I hope ya'll both complained about it. Surely that's not the "solution" EFR wants for their expensive turbos. Go to another vendor to resolve.
