How do you get the BOV to whoosh while parked, when I rev my engine it never gets above 0psi?

[SEAN-NZ]

put your foot to the floor should do it, mine gets to above 5psi, although it has to be taken pretty much to redline

IIRC if the car isn't getting any signal from the speed sensor that says the car is moving, then it won't produce boost - unless you reflash and turn on launch control.

[SEAN-NZ]

i do it stationary, clutch in, foot flat, no reason to not boost as the ecu can only control the boost above wastegate pressure as far as i know

[wintertidenz]

Autos don't boost in neutral or park - only drive. Manuals may be slightly different.

I saw a post a while back that mentioned launch control and being able to build boost while stationary, something you can't do with a stock flash.

You don't need much boost to activate your dump valve. Mine dumps when stationary and revving in neutral even though the boost gauge doesn't register any boost. As Sean said above though, I have to be aggressive with the throttle pedal.

im not sure but maybe because yours is a AUTO??
ive never seen a turbo car with a automatic and BOV so i have no clue


all i do is put my foot on the gas till it wooshs lol
just like SEAN-NZ said.. foot on the clutch and foot on the gas

[Nick Mann]

In N the auto should do the same as the manual in neutral.

You don't make any significant boost when the car has no load, so I'd guess that the difference is the pre-load setting on the bov's actuator spring.
