Is this a safe Mod??

[G@NDY]

Been putting my thinking cap on, and i came up with this;

Ive been after a bov for a while as the compressor stall doesnt sound to clever for the turbo. I was told i could put one on the elbow, and that i had a joint and a hose (capped off with a bolt) near the throttle body.

So i got my original bov and cut the hose and fitted it like so;

Is this a waste of time? will it handle 1.2 bar and will it work??.:rolleyes:

 Cheers andy:Ladys-man :Laugh

It\'s gotta be better than nothing!

[ro284]

can\'t see it working there at all! that\'s on the intake

[MillSpeed]

It\'s plumbed in just before the throttle body, probably the best place for a dump valve.

...which is where it should be - the idea of a BOV is to release the pressure between the throttle plates (which are shut) and the compressor wheel - so as long as it is somewhere between either of those 2 points it\'s ok.
 
The real question is can the stock recirc valve hold off 1.2 Bar, and will it stay airtight when it\'s supposed to and not leak boost out of your intake.
 
I think it should work - question is how well.

Thanks for the input guys:driving
The 1.2 is high boost and it rarely see\'s that unless the cars being used in anger. So I reackon it might be okey as a tempory measure running at the lower 0.9 bar, until funds allow, then will probably replace it with a forge/bailey item.:Santa

Crackin!  I Like it! :cool

But agree that 1.2bar on those babies will probably damage them to vent almost always!

I don\'t know why some one has\'nt thought of that already??? Thats spot on, you could\'nt put it any better place.

Can\'t you route the Vac pipe a bit better though you want it as short as poss while still on the Engine side of the Throttles.

[Ricco_04]

I used tiny cable ties to route a boost pipe in with all the brake lines - works pretty well - that should work :yes

[Grizzly]

It should work well.

So does it make a nice Noise

[Ricco_04]

Without meaning to jump in : It is actually pretty good, It\'s also pretty loud! :burnout

[Grizzly]

is that from inside or outside?

[maximtaylor]

I used to run my single turbo with that setup, worked fine.

[Ricco_04]

is that from inside or outside?

Aint heard it from outside but it\'s just the right volume inside - just a short burst but it\'s reasonable.

Im thinking of changing to an SSQV when I get hard pipes & go to 1bar.

[G@NDY]

Super duper, at last gandy does something right:rolleyes: :Santa

Havent fired her up yet so dont know how it sounds, looking forward to tomorrow !!!! hope the sun has its hat on!

Can\'t you route the Vac pipe a bit better though

Yep your right, that does need sorting:p
