[Guest Danny32]

Just wondering if i were to take off the stock BOV would i get that pcht pcht pcht sound (cooler sound), would it be loud?

Take it off and replace it with what?

Don't just remove it, it is there for a purpose. Unless your planning an aftermarket one.

hey man runnin your car with no BOV is bad news for the turbo, its stuffs it up and shortens the life of it. Now why would you want to do that!!

by the way you would get that sound your after, but is it worth it??????

:bahaha: hahaha, u people make me laugh

Danny32, take off the plum back, stick on a metal plate in its place, bolt it in and reap the rewards of flutter

100% that your turbo will be fine in years to come

stick on a pod filter, partition it off to get the sound more audible

leave the bov preachers to their marketing ploy

enjoy

Whistla,

I don't believe your right, the recirc valve is there for a reason, prevents compressor surge, and without it you will get worse throttle response.

The vehicle manufacturer put it on there for a reason. If it wasn't needed you think they would have gone to the trouble of fitting one??

Or is it just a marketing ploy by Nissan?? Hmmmmm.... I wonder...

throttle response, possibly but through my tests i found that it was THAT noticable

noticable YES, but not to the extreme of some peoples suggestions

Sil8ty

the reason why re circulating valves were placed on engines is for the noise

your regular jo blow buying a turbo car doesnt want to hear flutter so buy putting in the recirulating valve in, u get rid of that slight muffled noise (cos obviously the airbox supresses the noise too) and releave the compressor surge

BUT, alot of the aftermarket bov i see on peoples are ARNT put in properly

for it to work properly with ZERO surge, it should vent at the slightest amount of back pressure just like the factory valve does

nb: no need for the sarcasem Sil8ty, BOV is like debating religion..itll never end

Whistla,

While I do agree that aftermarket BOV's are used excessively and the effect on the car relatively small, I do think that the stock recirc valve is necessary at the very least.

Even with a stock turbo there is a small amount of compressor surge, without any form of BOV, stock or otherwise, then this can cause additional stress on the turbo. While failure is hardly likely, I think that either it or an aftermarket one should be retained.

Yea but it sounds tuff LOL

[MM2death]

I got stocko BOV and it's still plumb back....

I'm not one for all these BOV noises. Performance first.

[TTT]

DANNY32..

Yes.

If you remove it and block off the holes and vacuum line and so on, you will get the pchu chu chu sound you are after.

if you still have the standard air box, it won't be loud.

if you have a pod filter, then you will hear the sound you are after..

I'm not going to bother with my opinions on the whole bov or no bov theory..

OEM use Plumb back for emmisions mostly.. But you would think that if the OEM were to use a BOV on the car it is there for a reason... Preserving turbo life,especially roller core turbos, as well as decreasing compressor surge...
