it would most likely wear a standard turbo out quicker due to backspin.. not straight away. the car would still be drivable though it'll wear quicker the harder you drive/boost it.

Im currently running an aftermarket turbo with no bov. And have not seen any signs of problems or wear to the turbo'.

no expert, but my hypothesis would be that you would suffer boost spikes everytime you changed gears, or got off the loud pedal after boost. invariably there is nowhere else for this air to go but your engine. and remember the throttle is never fully closed, it remains slightly ajar to allow idle. so the pressurised air would find its way into the chambers and create an extremely lean mixture, and possibly result in detonation.

thats just my theory. i want to see how close i am to the truth.

the butterfly does close, the idle control valve at the back of the plenum is used to idle the engine.

the air that is usually supposed to go out the bov is just sent back to the turbo and tries to spin it the opposite way.

IT DOES NOT TRY AND SPIN IT THE OPPOSITE WAY!!!

Turbo fins are setup uni directional.

Spin the compressor one direction, air will move through it. Spin it the opposite, the air doesn't get moved through it.

The same applies if you blow air through it, it'll spin one way, blow it the opposite, it won't.

The issue of turbos slowing down, is you get a large pressure build up between the turbo and throttle, if your pressure source, for your wastegate, is pre-throttle body, the wastegate remains open, but your turbo has less gas flowing through it, and the majority of what exits the motor, is headed down the wastegate anyway, so the turbo slows down that way.

Take the pressure source post-throttle, and you're fine.

edit: On a motor running an AFM, you will get "double counts" of air as it reverts through the intake, and you'll get double the amount of fuel, On an aftermarket ECU, you can tune this issue out to a fair degree, on a factory car ecu car, you'll have stalling issues.

Throw an ECU on that makes the AFM just a piece of pipe (IE, convert to MAP) you won't have an issue.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
