[92turbo4life]

put my bov on and i noticed i got about 1.5 psi out of it:naughty: but when i baught it the gentleman i talked 2 said that it wouldnt do n e thing except spool the turbo faster???? i was just curious about the bov. i am 15 n new in the supra game and i love it:love: , and was wondering what the bov does... it sounds wonderfull and spools quite quickly i am very pleased with the model.

the only way you'd be gaining boost by replacing the BOV is because your old one was leaking. and your turbo only spools faster because of the same reason.

basically, the blow off, or bypass valve relieves pressure when you shift. this prevents compressor surge, which is when the air that is compressed into the intercooler piping, intercooler, and intake manifold tries to go backward, and spin the impeller blade the opposite direction than it should.

on large turbos, pushing high boost, compresser surge could screw up the impeller wheel, or even break fins off of it if it happens to an extreme.
