Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

thats really weird. My uncrushed dsm valve holds 18psi, rock steady. Diesels dont have BOV's.... and they have non ball bearing turbos. Guess you dont need one either, but when your talking about a $2,000 turbo... id buy a tial

Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

stock dsm bovs usually flow just fine to prevent compressor surge. I dont think id try running without one on such an expensive turbo, i mean, compressor surge in general is damaging, just because the turbo survived it doesnt mean id like to have going into surge all the time, unless you like shaft play. Oh yeah, diesels dont have throttle plates either, when is the last time you heard a diesel surge?

Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

wtf Yes they do.

Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

Not the hundreds I've seen.

Desiels don't have Throttle Plates, Thus no need to discard the excess pressure smashing into the Compressor.

ah :1

Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

Diesels surge, its just that since they dont have throttle plates there isnt as much of a violent stop for the air as if it had a throttle plate. I thought I remembered reading an article where garrett was developig an electronic BOV specifically for deisels.

If you listen when he lets off in this video you can har the compressor surge.

Re: GT Dual BallBearing Turbo Question/BOV question
 

LOOK if you want to be that much of a tight wod thats fine dont buy one
i have seen the shaft twisted but not broke! the blades hit the housing and fucked them up. i mean how could it not hurt somthing spinning that fast and not only stop but spin backwards?? but what ever buddy, getta rope
