SARD r2d2 help

[OVR444]

Can anyone else who has a sard R2d2 take a look at how many threads are above the bolt on their bov.

I have looked over the general BOV adjustment DIY; and have quite a bit of prior experience; but I cannot for the life of me find an instruction manual for the R2d2.

Any tips/tricks also with this bov?

Thanks heaps Ben. Appreciate it; Looks about the same as where mine is set.

Its such a different experience having a bov on a auto. No vent between gear shifts sux.

BOV only goes off when you quickly release your foot off the accelerator while there's pressure in the intake system..

Start using your tippy frequently ahehehe

yeah, but doesn't mean he'll let off the accelerator while changing gears

Hey Mate.

I have the same BOV on my S1.

When I first installed it the spring was definitely too tight, it would only release if I was giving it some. If I wasn't, I could hear a noise up near the firewall. I took this to be the air stalling the turbos?

Anyway, I loosened the spring all the way open, then tightened it a turn and went for a drive. Since I have an EBC, I could set it to the level I wanted, put it into 3rd and gave it some....lost boost at about 8 or 9psi. So stopped, tightened a turn and went again.

It only took maybe 3 or 4 turns to hold my max boost setting of 12-13ish in 3rd. Other than that it vents quite quietly if I am driving normally. And if the boost gauge doesn't head into positive territory, there is no sound at all.

There is a "How To" for installing VTA BOV's that will give all the answers

Check it out in the How To section

Mmmmm R2D2

No problems, however I can help. I quite like the blow off valve on an auto because you can be stealthy if you want to be. Although admittidly I always drive tiptronic now. Love the sound of the r2d2. My wife thinks I am a raving lunatic because I get so happy at the noise it makes
