What's everyone's opinions on which BOV to go with, there's so many out there in really sure if I can go wrong with picking one or the other. Tail, Turbosmart, JGS, on3. Anybody have any insight on these?

Thanks - Kyle

 

Are good. As long as it doesnt leak when closed it should be fine.

 

My on3 worked fine while I had my kit from them and saw 16+ psi a few times by accident, my Tial q works great on the procharger. Just roll with what fits your budget.

 

Why do we really need one? Is it going to ruin the turbo not running a bov?

 

Twin Tial 50s
Id like to run precision ones but money wasnt there


Dunno why im not fan of jgs products


Ive used on3 50mm in pair on TT-Notch but owner didnt want to spend the money



In end make sure you have enough bov for power level...a 50mm was designed for a 2.5 tube and works great for low boost...once you get over 20 with a serious setup youll find it out as it may not vent eough so twin 50s or larger singles are required

Local car makinf 1300 had a single 50 on 4" pipe and bemt his throttle blade..swapped to dual 50 problem solved as twin 50s is 100mm and 4" is 101.6mm so it will vent all pressure

 

I really like the synapse bov. No diaphragm, it acts really fast due to design.

 

I wouldn't run anything but tial.... Just cause they're the best, in my opinion, and not to mention they're made in the USA! Not sure about any of the other companies, but countless people use them. Another brand most people are not aware off is boosted solution... Their BOV look pretty legit!

 

It can damage it. When you get out of the throttle all of that air is rushing to the intake. The throttle blade cuts it off, and pressure builds up in the intake system and back to the turbo. The exhaust pressure and flow is reduced because the throttle blade closed. The excess air is now backed up on the intake side and there is no exhaust flow or pressure. This puts a strain on the turbo due to it rapidly slowing down basically like intake air is trying to turn it backwards.

In my opinion a wastegate is more important as if they fail, you overboost. If a BOV fails it stresses the turbo or throttle blade. I run a 46mm Precision gate, and a Tial 50mm BOV.

Whenever you mount a BOV mount it as close to the throttle blade as possible to reduce the stress on it.

 

Except with a blower and it is recomended as close to head unit as possible

 

Ive heard they make nice piece's aswell.


I always here praise and great results with the tial bov's but has anyone used a procharger open race bov on these turbo setup's? I have a new open race valve with aluminum flange out in the garage and had thought about using it on my truck instead of the ebay "tial" knock-off that i have now.
