Thread: bov ???

so you want to boost your car, but don't want to know how it works?

i know how it it works i just didnt want to recerculate my bov i had an aem before and didnt have this problem so thats y i asked

why dont you want to recirc your bov, to have a louder sound?

on aem its speed density, map sensor, not a maf sensor, so air isnt being constantly meter like the maf sensors do.

if you dont want to recirc your bov, go with aem again.

I never saw any of those issues and I never recirculated... strange...
aww well Im N/A now, so I cant try and recirculate to see if the AFRs change...

Recirculating is always a good idea no matter what setup for good transient response.

Ok when i said after the throttle body i was being very stupid.

I meant if your looking at the car and you see the fmic then driver side piping to the throttle body. Im asking if the bov goes before the throttlebody you have to recirculate? my maf is on the pipe that goes to the inlet of turbo.<---is this ok?

Yes I know I should have researched more before turboing. Im trying to play catchup because of a purchase of a cheap bb

Pardon the ignorance honestly

See how that bov is in the cold side piping (after intercooler) and its recirculating the excess intake charge to a pipe before the turbo, after MAF. Thats a draw-through setup. Thats how I run mine because my car ran like shit the 10 mins it was blow through.

btw, not my car, found it on google images. Im not a big balla like that dude!

Exactly. The cold air coming from cold side piping helps cool down the turbo air charge. Also since the air is coming at fairly high pressure, it should help keep spinning the turbine.

the BOV should also be slightly open at full vacum/idle when recirculated
