Can it be done without hurting anything?

 

Does the Engine have a throttle body? Most diesels don't have a throttle body and instead work by throttling the amount of fuel being burned. If it doesn't have a throttle body theres no point in putting a BOV on one because it will never open.

 

someone posted awhile back that its pretty much pointless to put a bov on a diesel engine, it was linked to vwvortex.com

 

oh my god, you want to be the biggest ricer ever go ahead and put a BOV on a car with no TB

 

An exhaust brake would be cooler... marginally.

 

LOL

 

actually, one that was driven from teh alternator vac pump and controlled by a tps switch on the gas pedal with a solenoid could be useful to keep the turbo semi spooled on a shift... i think, but maybe not.

 

u all forgot about the maf sensor

 

is this some modern POS ecu controlled diesel, or a reliable injector pumped diesel (which was the majority, and should stay that way for diesels intended purpose of pulling heavy ---- around, particularly partly under water.) if the latter, it doesnt have one, if the former, the man has a point, and it would be best to leave it alone.

 

no ----, you can't blow off metered air to atmosphere without making the car run like ----. not only that, but does a diesel motor even produce enough vacuum to actuate a BOV?
