  • Dumb BOV question.

    Will the BOV suck in air when the engine is at low throttle, or idle?

    If not is there something, so that the engine doesn't have to suck through the turbo all the time?

    MIne won't. It will only open under extreme pressure, not vacuum.

        IT is D-U-N done.

        I need to take pics. It looks really cool. the car runs like **** though.

        I have a lot of tuning ahead of me. I got an LS1 MAF for next to nothing, so I am gonna convert to draw thru MAF on monday. I just learned how to properly adjust timing with DHP software. It may have been cheaper than HPT, but it is harder to use.

            Most turbo bypass valves are open some at vaccume. The after market ones are not unless you ajust them to be, changing springs, there installed hight and stuff like that.

              Start you car and let it Idle. Go to you BOV and see if it is open, sucking air in. If so put a filter on it.
              If it cant Flow it, FORCE it!<br /><br />1999 M5 Camaro RS. Boost is on the way. Cartech FMU, 255 intank, T3/T4 BB 62-1 , Stage 5 turbine wheel .63 A/R.

                    About the BOV... I must have a strange design. THere is no way it can suck anything in. It is rock solid shut when it is exposed to vac.
