If so, you might need a retune if the tuner compensated for the leaky OEM BPV Only recently flashed the Cobb STG 1 OTS map. Any suggestions?

GTEASER Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Only recently flashed the Cobb STG 1 OTS map. Any suggestions? Get off of it and get a custom stage 1 tune.

FLlegacy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Only recently flashed the Cobb STG 1 OTS map. Any suggestions? Use your AP to monitor your feedback knock, fine knock correction, AFR, DAM, and then whatever else tickles your fancy. Make sure your DAM is steady at 1 and you are getting minimal feedback knock. On a typical drive I see -2 to -6 depending on weather, traffic, how I am driving. These should be the biggest indicator of needing a custom tune or a modified OTS tune. There are 3 versions of every tune available: low wastegate, normal wastegate, and high wastegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3rizon Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Get off of it and get a custom stage 1 tune. That's around the corner, hopefully sooner rather than later. I have a good friend who's produced some very solid results through his work and research. If the vehicle does not end up going to him (as he's halfway across the country) I'm hoping I can find a reputable tuner in my area. There's so many mixed opinions where I'm at.

FLlegacy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Make sure you are at a point that you will be done modding for a while so getting your tune is worth while otherwise I would monitor and then get tuned once. Unless you have big plans (E85/meth injection) down the road then paying for a second tune may make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as "power" is concerned, I'm not quite sure how far I'll look to take it, but I'll certainly keep that in mind. As per suspension... well... my bank account and my girlfriend won't be too pleased. But, you live once. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A_ron Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does anyone know what boost pressures the turbosmart kompact BPV can support? Their website says -15inhg but is doesn't say much about boost. Also If I am planning to get a tune this fall would it be worth it to get a valve that vents to atmo?

FLlegacy Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The turbosmart kompact can support more boost than your turbo can safely produce and more than your engine will handle. That bpv would be the least of your worries. Mine hold 21.xxpsi just fine. I think specs are in the 35 psi range. Look at the questions on this page. The internals are the same only the mounting flange is different. https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/blow-off-valves/tbs-ts-0203-1215-turbosmart-recirculating-blow-off-valve-kompact-plumb-back-black/questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thanks! That's a great help. Didn't realize they made them to work like legos with different flanges and ports. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcg_ Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 FWIW, I have a TurboSmart BPV in the stock location. It works fine. Wish I would have gotten an adjustable for some sound effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thanks! That's a great help. Didn't realize they made them to work like legos with different flanges and ports. The design of all of them is pretty much the same, just prettier packaging on some and of course noisier options on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I considered it but I also didn't want to spend extra money on a noise maker just to have to retune it. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Folks with aftermarket diverter valves - how often do you service them? I'm looking at the Turbosmart Kompact and it recommends every 6 months that you pull it apart and clean the piston and bore, then relubricate and reassemble...

Andy_Mac Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Never have for my GFB. Probably should do so just to see how it is looking inside. Just had a read of their instructions and they claim it shouldn't need cleaning for most vehicles as oily crankcase gas should keep it lubricated enough. And if operation seems different to normal to just dissamble, wipe clean and apply a light layer of engine oil to moving parts. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sort of what I figured - the service they (Turbosmart) recommends is pulling out the piston and spring, then cleaning and relubricating (they call for something lighter than engine oil, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Air tool oil is pretty close to sewing machine oil, if you do decide to do a tear-down, otherwise ATF would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just have to reuse a flage from the stock BPV ? Seems like I need a new BPV and having a hard time figuring out what options are other than OEM.
