Re:BOV nessasary?
 

BOV necessary? No.

Recommended? Yes.

My pops has an 82 Mercedes turbo desiel, no BOV, no intercooler either, hell there practically isn't any charge piping! :o

I took pictures before but I don't remember where they are. But the outlet of the turbo basically hooks right up to the intake manifold. Crazy.

its one have those "you dont have to have it but i would"

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

If you are spending money to go as far as turbo-charging a car, you might as well do it right. But hey..... it's your turbo.

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

TurboCoupes didn't have BOVs either and they ran 15+ lbs of boost!

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

Why would you need a bov on a diesel? It wouldn't even work ::)

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

no blow off valve is needed if you have a water/air IC inline with the turbo charge pipes going to the TB and the pipes are VERY short.

anything over a couple of feet of tubing would probably need a BOV especially if your not running a IC

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

I dont get it, what do IC's have to do with BOVS now? ???

Re:BOV nessasary?
 

10$? are you talking junkyard bovs? DSM? supposedly my 86 saab that i pulled the turbo/intercooler has one but I honestly cant find it, should be right before the intake mani right? i dont see anything, anyone else pull one out of a saab?
