No BOV

[smelly240]

this thread is out of hand... the most damaging type of compressor surge is when u run more boost than the turbo is capable of flowing (like all the retards running 16psi on their trusty t25's)

no bov will not blow your turbo apart, and having a bov isnt going to make your car faster. if you want one - run it... if not - who cares.

That doesn't cause compressor surge. You'd have to be using a ginormous compressor and just manage to get to the left of the surge line with the throttle open. That is the type of surge that will kill a turbo with a quickness.


As far as recirc. BOVs improving response - it did in my case. It's not something I expected, but it was really obvious when shifting at say 4-5k RPM and half throttle. The response after the shift was noticeably better with the BOV recirc. Didn't notice much of a difference at WOT(18 psi) and shifting at redline.

It has been like that with two turbos that I ran both vented and recirc.(T28 and GT2876R)
