 anyone here use the Bosch BOV? if so do you use it as a plumback or atmo venting?
i havnt 100% finished all my w2a i/c pipework, the BOV return bit still needs to be welded onto the turbo inlet pipe. so i just put the BOV on as a atmo venting. it opens at idle and kills the engine, i am sure i seen them used as atmo venting BOV's before.
anyone got any ideas? i am running out of time as i am driving to Brissie on friday morning.

If you are running a car with an Air Flow Meter then it will most likely stall and run poorly with that BOV unless it's plumbed back. If it's MAP sensed then you shouldn't have any real dramas either way.

i have been running a SSQ BOV for ages on my a2a i/c set-up with the AFM with-out the engine dying at idle etc. (yes i know i will get a gut load of fuel at gear change with the AFM).
i wanted to use the Bosch one as my SSQ one doesnt suit the GT4 w2a i/c with out welding the boss onto the outlet pipe. the GT4 i/c has a pipe type fitting for it's BOV location.
so this Bosch BOV must act more like the 4agze ABV as it opens at idle? or it's just too weak a spring in it?
which means i'll just have to get my turbo inlet pipe out and weld a bit on to plumb it back so i can get down to brissie ok. bugger.

no it's not that it's too weak, It actually does open at idle, I am using one of them on my ST165 3SGTE with w2a I/C, it goes well but yeah as 7M said with an Air Flow meter you will need to plumb it back, so no more pssssssh

yeah seems that way. but for now i'll just have to grind the SSQ boss off my old pipe and get it welded onto the new i/c to tb pipe tomorow morning, much less stuffing around to get me on the road quicker. a little more involved getting the Bosch one to work as a plumback at the moment.
i'll sort out the Bosch plumback later.

Does anyone have the old zoom magazine where they tested all the different BOV's, giving flow rates etc?
I cant seem to find my copy anywhere and need to look up a few flow figures for comparison.
Cheers

bosch ones you cant change the spring. they are designed to be opened at idle.
