I made a few kits years ago - you basically have to piece it together yourself these days.

You need a metal pipe, BOV flange and BOV, T-fitting & a few feet of vac line. It's easiest to T your vac signal off the vac port at the front of the upper intake manifold.

HTH!

they are in use, the problem is that, while you go under boost, and than close the throttle, al the pressure goes back to the turbo into the airfilter.

turbo flutter.
This will destroy your turbo !

Hey Guys,

I have heard that these BOV's are of no use on the GM Turbo cars.

What's the consensus on the list ?

Well the backpressure doesn't help.......but I don't think they're nearly as important to our trucks as it would be to a manual tranny turbo vehicle, where you're constantly abusing the turbo shift after shift with that backpressure.

I was riding in AZTY's Typhoon last night doing some DM runs and I tell ya...........I prefer the BOV sound to that damn flutter. Maybe when I get a nice beefy turbo, where the flutter sounds intimidating........

Right now it resembles a dog with bad gas. :-?

The stock turbo operates at 130,000 to 140,000 RPMs at full boost. Personally, I don't like the idea of trying to force 15 psi back through where it came from... However, MANY have no issues whatsoever not running a BOV so the choice is yours. IMO, if there weren't so expensive I think more people would have them.
