Your turbo will be hurt.
Stay off the boost you'll probably be ok, not really the best idea though.

Just as ^^he^^ said. If you drive it with a bad BOV...Your turbo will take a punch in the gut but as long as you stay out of boost (high boost, for that matter), you should be okay for now. Now, whatever you do, DO NOT get rid of it...a bad BOV is always better than no BOV.

Oh no...You can boost all you want (before BHG
) even with a bad BOV.
When I first got my car, my stocker BOV was p00p...and boosted 10psi still.

it may boost fine with a bad bov, but then you beating the crap out of your turbo, thats why every one is saying dont do it.

Really? When the BOV is stuck closed you will be able to boost, but you will get compressor surge...if the BOV is weak, and won't hold any pressure (The case here) you probably won't be able to boost very high because the BOV serves as a huge boost leak...and you definitely won't get surge...right?
