Hi All,

I've been wondering how I will accomplish the perfect sound.

I don't wish to surge the turbos, I'm thinking BOV but they never seem to sound as good.

Just wondering what options do I have? and just in general what you think.....

I originally was going to do BOV's (probably turbosmart veeport pros), but because they added recirc now, I'll probably wait and see how that sounds first. Occasionally a recirc gives you a nice quiet woosh through the tubes that is still plenty audible in the cabin. Also the slight potential performance value of a recirc is nice compared to blowoffs

If it was the same as the Q60, the HKS Bov is a sure thing. As Metal said.. I’ll wait to see others try it first with the changes.

I was looking into this, on some engines it flutters on some it *wooshes*

A close friend had a cosworth built wrx,
he had the most unique BOV sound,
I found out it was a Plazmaman BOV

I’ve seen afew Q60 owners running Turbosmart Bov’s but the sound was “ehhh”

That Woosh reminds me of wrx’s and evo’s
I looking for a unique sound or a nice clean flutter, the best flutter is surge ?

Yeah I was thinking, will recirc vavles really make a difference on the Z? I’m guessing we are not using AFM’s... The air isn't metered when entering the turbine compressor.
The computer shouldn’t freak out over recuricuation. It will have an accurate read straight to the ecu.

Yeah, waiting for results is a good move

I'm curious about this too since I'm looking for a bit more noise in the engine bay. Tempted to go with the AMS intakes and if possible, HKS SSBOV.

I’ll definitely be running SSQV HKS BOVs when they come out
