Hey guys long time first time I've spent alot of time looking through here as a non member but needed more info my 2013 sho has been having weird behavior like a rough idle with no cel and what sounds like waste gate flutter under low rpm any help is appreciated thanks
Check & inspect the BOV! Sometimes the inner diaphram gets worn,torn which creates a flutter sound under vacuum! Welcome aboard and due setup an Intro @ your earliest convenience,thanks. Z
I will do both those things thank you
Well I checked both Bovs both seem to be in good working shape any other ideas
checked the hoses atop the manifold? They tend to come loose as they are not clamped down at the factory.
when you checked the BOVs, the orange seals looked intact? those are what fail. post up pics if you got 'em.
pull the pipes off the turbos and inspect the turbo housing/turbine/compressor. try moving the actuator by hand. these internal wastegate actuators can fail over time resulting in power loss/ie no boost.
sometimes it is hard to tell if a pipe has cracked and is "leaky". So always inspect at the clamp area in a 360 degree fashion with your hand, see if there's oiliness anywhere.
How many miles on your 2013MY! MODS! R -U VTA!
Due add your signature with your current vehicle and any Mods you may have so we can assist you better. TIA. Z

All hoses up top look good the orange rubber pieces look good I'll try and get pics I did find that my intercooler to manifold pipe is oily so I'll be replacing that hopefully that does the trick

Sorry still pretty new to this car has 57xxx miles and I added everything I know about the car everything was done to it when I bought it so there may be things i don't know of yet
If that pipe is oily, you may be needing a catch can or at least upgrade the motor oil in use. Also likely need to check the intercooler and periodically empty it. Suggest raising driver side of car to collect everything on passenger side of the IC first.
X2 ^^^ How To below! Z :)

Great advice thanks guys
Just wanted to make an update on this I drained the cac like suggested and I bought and installed ppe hot pipes and it fixed the flutter issue I also installed a jlt oil separator to help with the oil collection once again thanks for the advice
Glad to hear the SHO is running well. Enjoy!
X2 -Awesome news indeed! enjoy the SHO & Don't be a stranger. Z :)
good deal on getting it fixed. Must've been something related to the hot pipes, glad you got it figured out!
