Type rs leaking? how to tune? help!

[treefrog1112]

okay i'm not sure if my GReddy type-RS is leaking or creating compressor surge. the problem is i don't have a boost gauge yet, so i can't tell.

I've searched all around and i've read what sounds i should be looking for. BOV blowing off under full boost, and turkey gobble under low throtal for compressor surge.

okay under low throtal i get a slight whistle, that sounds like a bird. I thought this was compressor surge so i lossened it about 5 turns, and i stil get the same exact sound. I was just told that this is normal with the Type-RS

under full boost i get the same shhhhhhh suction sound i got with stock bov. I started to get this suction sound after my intake, so i always assumed it was the intake. but i'm not sure.

not too many turbo cars around here... so no one to get in my car and listen.

plese help!

you are Not modifying boost without a boost guage are you?

i seem to recall I had to play with my RS a lot to get it dialed in.
I had it loose enough to vent at any positive pressure. but tight enough to Hold the 19psi i was running.

sorry its vague. hard to webdicate someting like that.

Okay, from the factory it is on the softest setting, which leaks mad boost. Now every DSM is not alike, so you have to find what settings are right for your car. It all sounds normal, but just tune it asap. I went all the way to the hardest setting, that way it doesnt leak boost, and I can adjust accordingly. Try it, and get back to this....

okay its fixed... sorta!

I took some advice and tightened the bov. now no more suction sound!!! it was leaking, same as stock sound. so stock was leaking.

i just test drove it. the sound is 90% gone.

my bov sound has a slight chirp or whistle now. i get no surge sound like cha cha cha turkey call. should i tighten more until i get that surge sound, then loosen just until i don't?
