Should have a plumb-back BOV

But if it doesn't, you could only F@RK UP YOUR TURBO! nothing major to worry about

[Guest Boxhead]

[Guest RaBZ3174]

if my memory serves me right i do..but who knows i mite b wrong what should they look like and where should it b located?

pretty dumb question i just wanna b sure but.

well as its a stock one.....it looks nothing like an aftermarket one. not sure about 32's but on a 33 they're this ugly small grey roundish thing thats attatched to one of the intake pipes. follow ur intake pipes and there should be something odd bolted onto it:D as u say your hearing a whistling sound after lettin go of the gas its best bet that thats the sound of ur bov...doesnt matter if its auto too.....my friend had a 32 auto.

oh ok thanks alot man..yea i think thats y i didnt think there was a BOV cauz it didnt look like an aftermarket one and didnt generate as much noise as my freinds r33..although i still ran him off the rd.. im gonna go look for the grey roundish ugly thing thanks alot mr fanny!!!

On the R33, it is found on top of the engine just b4 the throttle body. Mine is just behind/below the strut brace in this pic.

BOV won't give you a discernable power boost.. most people just stick them on for the noise. And like mr_fanny said, even its auto it will have one. Just leave as is and be happy.

Just as good as the work on your front bar! :shake:

if theres no affect on the motor through a BOV why then do most factory turbo cars have BOV's stock?

AFAIK thier there to improve response by decreasing the chance of backpressure slowing the compressor when the throttle is slammed shut.

or boost spikes?

[Guest RaBZ3174]

thanks guys appreciate it...

I put my aftermarket BOV on so i could have something quieter than the stock one. My old stock one used to make a HEAP of noise (probly because of my air filter pod) and was really sensitive.

Whenever i came on boost with the stock bov i couldnt hear the motor underneath the sound of air rushing. Aftermarket BOV has reduced the noise by over 50 percent id say, now all i hear is the howl of 6 lovely RB cylinders. Not sure if all 32 bovs were as bad as my one or if mine had a problem. But its better by far now.

kwazza: i think u've missunderstood. i dont think anyone here said that having no bov wont do anything to ur engine. just reinforcing to Rabz that his car and all gts-t's have stock blow off valves...be it auto or manual. Predator and i were just saying from opinion that an aftermarket one's over the stock one wont give u any great performance gains.
