I bought a "TCC Works" $69.99 ebay bov. Seems like a pretty good unit, solid construction and decent price. I've heard good and bad things about them but so I decided to take mine apart and show you what was inside. There's isn't much inside, but the construction is very solid! Anodized aluminum body, brass piston inside all greesed up, a huge spring and rubber seal around the body where the cap screws on (to keep the vacuum). This is an adjustable blow off valve, but there isn't room for a whole lot of adjustment. But there is a little bit.

Aren't those ones that the whole top turns to adjust them? That is what it looks like to me, looks like lots of play to adjust them....

Stan

Yes, because it keeps snowing and at this rate summer will never come.

I used one of those blow off valves on a setup i did recently for a kid (he supplied parts) I thought it was the shittiest blow off valve, I tried adjusting it either way and I got compressor surge no matter what. The valve kept opening way late.

Just because its anoidized blue doesnt make it special, Function over fashion.. I'd take a 1g dsm anyday over that.

Hey look on the bright side you can use that grease on your ------- to keep it from getting too sore.

Is there really that big of a difference in BOV i mean obviously there is gonna be better ones and so on but don't they basically perform the same? If you adjust a BOV can't you just get a cheap manual boost controler, wouldn't that be better?

WTF are you talking about.. a boost controller and blow off valve are 2 different things.

GodJockey

Whoa nvm i m not thinking Why did i give up coffee for lent!?

Stan

I sold my 1g dsm for this one haha. How much boost was the kid running and did you try cutting half a coil off the spring inside?
