Just incase anyone is actually interested I'm bored so here goes... Pretty sure this vac line is for the intake manifold, when you let off the throttle, the throttle body (which opens when you apply gas and let's air into the intake manifold) will close creating an air vacuum in the intake manifold. This air obviously needs somewhere to go since you've released the gas and the throttle body is closed, what happens is the vacuum pressure from this built up air will then force your blow off valve open to release all the air/boost (creating the wooshing noise you hear when you let off the throttle). By putting a kink in this vac line you're basically not allowing the blow off valve to properly release the boost/air to the atmosphere so instead of getting one big whoosh sound you get this flutter sound. Over a long time this probably wouldn't be good for your blow off valve which is now working twice as hard. But hey if it makes you smile carry on 😂.
@@BRNZYX Too right mate just means you can install a better one like turbosmart or forge hahaha I take it it's held up fine anyway. Oh and no problem bro! No need for people to put others down for what they enjoy man.
Kyle Taundry got a forge induction kit and BOV on my 1.2tsi fabia, at the moment I get a dump when the air is released, if I clamp the vacuum line from the BOV to the intake manifold will it flutter instead? And will it harm the forge BOV as it’s upgraded anyway?
I’ve done this before on other cars by removing the blow off valve completely or in the case of recirc valves a one way valve works better If you just kink the line the boost will push open the recirc valve and leak boost so creating lag and spinning the turbo faster to compensate If you put the one way valve into that line facing the recirc valve every time you make boost it presses the valve tight but doesn’t release under vacuum Probably not great for the turbos lifespan but that’s up to you really if you want your turbo to possibly die earlier but have turbo noises you go for it
I presume the line your clamping is the return line to the recirculation valve? Not sure if it will do the turbo any good. If you change all the pipe from the turbo , crossover and the pipe to the air filter you will get a massive recirculation valve noise sounds great!
oh lord... do not do this. it will absolutely destroy your turbo in the long run and demolish the performance and life-span of your engine. if you want turbo flutter; don't be a ricer and put in the money, time and effort to tune your engine properly. thank-you and have a good day.
Funny 10+ years never had an issue with flutter killing turbos or demolishing performance, it's almost like it doesn't do either. "don't be a ricer and put in the money, time and effort to tune your engine properly." Common place in motorsport not to run a valve, guess they are ricers.
Strider That’s not surge. That is air going the wrong way in the VAC line going back into the turbo and it’s stalling the propellor wheel. That’s just causing excess wear
I'd recommend to only do this now and then for a change of sound, because it will cause excessive wear as back pressure is slowing the turbo down which is the noise you hear! Only hybrids and custom turbos are able handle this type of pressure. Also if cars is remapped with stock turbo problem will be even worse
Alpha Damaged that’s fair bro, I done it myself on mine when it was remapped and nothing happened at all, and I know others have done it too, however just made the comment to warn others that it can cause a lot of stress on the turbo and really isn’t good! Could ask any mechanic and they’ll say the same
This isn't extremely detrimental to the turbo, but if excessive wear is an issue. Turbos on these cars is only $500. I can afford to buy replacements lol
I have a dual port blow off valve on my mustang ecoboost. You get the flutter and the pssst and none of the premature turbo wear!! But Bob’s your uncle! Handle it! 😂
Bad idea that mate😂 bit of a btec flutter and as well i'm sure that's the vac line that either goes to your intake or exhaust manifold so you're literally losing all turbo power😂
Not in short term, but basically its blowing air back into the terbo spinning the fan thing the other way, by doing this to much one may in time crack. Causing it to blow the turbo :/
@@KodeName.X These are the type of people that tell you it's bad, the people that say it spins the turbo the other way and call the compressor wheel the "fan thing".
My engine threw 2 rods a few months after this video was made and everyone said it was because of this but it wasn’t. Only things I’ve heard is that if you overtighten it or abuse it then it could damage your turbo
The only way this could of contributed to the rod damage would of been fueling issues, this car would of originally come with a recirculation valve to blow excess charge air from the turbo. This is to aid in quicker spool up time for the turbo and helps with economy of a factory setup. The fuel side of it is also is increased on standard ECU map to accommodate the extra charge air from recirc' valve, remove this and you have that bit extra fuel when you let off the accelerator which is why you get the back fire ,'exhaust pop' from excess fuel which eventually would cause catastrophic failure. In short, delete the recirc' valve, remap the ECU to accommodate the air to fuel ratio and you'll be fine. I have owned loads of turbo'd cars big and small and have learnt from my mistakes over the years. Sorry for the boring essay lol.
Its the vac line for the turbo so yes over time it will do damage to the tubo, also makes the turbo pretty much useless so yeah you might get a flutter but you'll have no turbo power, i just tried it and lost all induction noise as well and i'd rather have that than a cowboy turbo flutter
@@kulefishc7550 Doing this does not make your turbo useless or lost induction noise, if you have done it properly there will be no difference when you are on throttle.
The hose runs from somewhere along your intake manifold generally, to the intake of the turbo. There will be some form of factory BOV/bypass valve. That's the hose you want to block. Be sure not to block the actuator on the exhaust side. They can sometimes look a little similar, but you don't want to get them mixed up.
BRNZY Cos it’s not a special car at all, I have a 1.4 fiesta and I’d never dream of doing such things 😂😂 you’d get ripped into for doing that to a 1.0 in the car scene
James Pettit I don’t get ripped into at all I get a lot of pictures taken of my car at meets tbh😂 If you haven’t got anything positive to say then go waste your breathe on someone else’s video🤷🏼♂️

Well if this is true then once your blow off valve breaks you can just upgrade to a forge one 😉

I love seeing all the moronic comments about it harming the turbo. Closed throttle compressor surge is fine and it sounds good.
Strider That’s not surge. That is air going the wrong way in the VAC line going back into the turbo and it’s stalling the propellor wheel. That’s just causing excess wear
@@saucysimpson259 your very correct mate it’s one way to ruin the bearings and ultimately fuck your turbo

Only hybrids and custom turbos are able handle this type of pressure. Also if cars is remapped with stock turbo problem will be even worse
Alpha Damaged yes but when driving the turbo will always be under load when on boost which is how you hear the noise? So it’s still not good
Alpha Damaged ok so your saying it’s okay to do what he’s done?

All turbos can handle that type of pressure, unless you buy a ridiculously bad quality ebay turbo. (not all ebay turbos are bad)
What intake did you have for this fiesta?
K&N buddy
Does that run behind or in front of the blow off valve
It sounds like a turkey gobbling 🤣😂
100% trying this on my focus later!!
Good man!
Just tried this on my focus and it didn’t work
This isn't extremely detrimental to the turbo, but if excessive wear is an issue. Turbos on these cars is only $500. I can afford to buy replacements lol
Just buy a turbo smart bov if £500 isn't a problem it's only £190
I have golf v and when i did that, started my car and it took 10 seconds for it to stop.. any tips on how to fix it or sth
Take the zip tie off 👍

If worth doing even if it reduces turbo life by 25-30%
3:50 look at his coolant🤦♂️ guess we can guess where that line ran from or too
Lukas Barnes that’s normal these Ecoboost engines use a recirculating style of cooling so you don’t see it in the tank
Yes because vacuum lines go to the coolant resevoir...🤦♂️
That intro tho 🔥🔥
Luke Neil top man!❤️
might be a dumb question but where did you get those little covers that make your headlights look angry?
They’re called eyebrows mate. Got them from the TRC website
@@BRNZYX thanks
Did this for my missus but bought her a forge recirc then just out the hardest spring in so it doesn't open until right at the end
Love that mate!
Omg it actualy worked thanks for the turtorial i love it
You’re welcome buddy!
@@BRNZYX :D
Oh dear...
Did you notice any power loss?
None for me buddy, no difference apart from a flutter sound that gets a lot of attention 😅
Is this safe to do on a fiesta ST?🤔🤔🤔
if you want to keep your car/turbo longer dont do this...
Does this only work with a ecoboost
What exaust set up are you running on? No new/more vid m8?
Hello mate I’m running the Zaustworx back box delete.
My name's MiGS | and new videos coming soon! Have got to potentially buy a new engine 👀😩
Thanks for the answer! Hope to see more soon!
New engine because of what you done in this video? Haha
AJAY AK No bud cambelt snapped and bent all my valves😂 only done 30k miles🥴
Did anything end up going wrong?
Can you do this on a 2022 ecoboost
So is the vacuum line?
yes. between the bov/bypass valve and your intake manifold
Anyone know if I can do this on a 1.6 tdci zetec s😂
Did you try this?
Just did this for a 3 mile journey. Literally no change at all... no flutter.. nothing. 🤷🏽♂️
Maybe pull the cable tie tighter or abit more or don’t bend the pipe so much mate just bend it and have the cable tie towards then end.
You can also cut the hose and block the ends. If you change your mind later, it's $2 to replace the hose.
What year is your car?, mine has an electronic bov and all I have to do is unplug it lmao
@@martinbeahan mines 2016 but makes no noise when cable tying the pipe
My car litro makes no noise at all when cable tying that pipe this is 🧢🧢🧢🧢
So doing this little “mod” does it cause any problems down the life?
Line*
can you post where did you get the filter and maf?
Bad idea that mate😂 bit of a btec flutter and as well i'm sure that's the vac line that either goes to your intake or exhaust manifold so you're literally losing all turbo power😂
Turbo power would not go through a hose like that omg 😫
Can this break ur car ?
Cheers train 😂😂
Yes I’m pretty sure this is how to make your car go boom
He literally blew his car up and then made a video crying that ecoboost engines are unreliable 😂😂

Mate i have cable tied it and it made no noise ahahah
hoe to find that pipe on audi?
it runs from your intake manifold to your factory bov/bypass valve.
Has this coursed any damage?

3years till turbo goes
I feel like bov still sounds better😂😂😂
it's not good for the turbo
Also do you need a turbo to do this or can you get the noise from a non turbo car?
Only turbo cars buddy
Any one know if I can do this on a 1.6 tdi golf mk6
I'm trying to do this aswell
I 100% recommend you dont do this put a a duel port turbo smart on it this is one way to try the turbo
it's fine
Nice pop and bang tune 👌
where is the turkey doe
You made my day! 🤣
Thank you!😂
Nokk
Nokkk
Shit don’t don’t do that just completely remove your blow off valve and block the pipe compressors with air blockers better sounds to 👌
Or you could just buy a dual port and you get flutter without damaging your engine
flutter doesn't damage your engine unless its open throttle surge. Stop spreading lies
Lol like that the pop off doesn't work now all power is now on the turbo doesn't know if it's good or bad either more power 👍🤫🤷🏻♂️
will that destroy the turbo itself?
no. not at all

Amazing video, although my dad hates fiesta ST. Haha
I am not particularly fond of them haha
Thank you buddy, massively appreciate that!
good job it isn't an ST then
Great sound but surely it fucks up your turbo
To get a louder flutter cut it and block it.
wont you be loosing boost lol
no
Yh
oh my the rhd delso....... the want!
Der klingt im Standgas wie eine Grille

or dont use a cable tie. You can cut the hose (or buy a spare hose if you dont wanna cut yours) and block the ends.
