Well I'm hoping having 2 will help the issue. If 1 opens a slowely then your going to get twice the amount of vent wether it's open a little or a lot. If you know what I mean.

Crouch Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I looked at the instructions for a BOV once and it said you had to mount these as close to the throttle as possible as the throttle closing is what you need them for so pressure just leaves there instead of bouncing back and stalling the turbo or blowing pipes off? Also how can they rate BOV's in HP if the power is not dictaded by the boost pressure ie a small turbo at 1.6bar might be 500hp my turbo now is 612 at the same pressure but someone like Mr JamieP's would be over 900hp?
