Which BOV?? Sun, 27 February 2005 14:08 Go to next message
I have a 3tgte and it doesnt have a Blow off valve, i have been told i will feel a big difference when changing gears as i will have alot more boost after the change?

My car runs about 10 psi and is adjustable to 17 psi i just wondering what bov would be suitable for me, also i wish to vent it back to avoid the noise.


thanks alot guys

Jason

theres loads of them you could check out at online
performance shops for features etc, for plumb back
some people use a bosch unit which is simple
and cheap, maybe someone knows more about the bosch
ones?

seems to be quite a debate on using bovs or not, id use a plumb
back one. meant to reduce lag between gear changes and stop compressor surge. seems to keep things running more
smoothly though.

A BOV will not make a big difference on gearshifts. In fact it will make no difference. The only real reason to get one is for increased reliability, although even that much is debated.

Just get the cheapest plumb-back BOV you can get your hands on. Anything more than that is 100% wank.

my freind used a standard plumb back bov from a mitsubishy and when he got over 7-8 psi it started chattering and realeasing air, Was told something about the back pressure from his inlet. so you think any bov will work???

I got a bosch plumb-back bov for my 3sgte (can't remember the part number though). From memory the trade price was under $50 and retail was a little under $60.

This link shows a part number for one, but not sure if it's the same as what I used. I can check during the week when I go out to work on my car though.
