Errr.. Is This Guy For Real Real?

[BeEnAr]

So I was doing some searching on youtube and came across this American douche's video about his BOV

Anyway check it out. I'd be pretty pissed if my BOV was working the way his does with his extra efficient twin turbo setup. BOV FAIL anyone???

Some of the comments are pretty good and he gets pretty defensive

[Count Grantleyish]

It's the internet so he may be for real?

[scotty014]

this is a big WTF!, also since when do you have a filter on the end of a blow off valve? there not called blow IN valve's so i dont see why you would have one.

[krzysiu]

Lol what a clueless f**k. Blowing out air at idle? And on acceleration. Righteo

[MrWindsurf]

LOL that is all

[PENGUYEN]

Feed that BOV into the aircon. WHOOPWHOOP.

[jjskyline79]

Hummm

[llama_au]

Oh dear.

[Downforce]

It does seem odd, but reading the comments the makers of the product genuinely believe the product works and the theory behind it... I'm curious as it is difficult to see past the apparent flaw in the design.

[l_uk3y]

Lol. That is the first time I have EVER heard of putting a filter on a BOV.

How Bizarre. I'll stick with my factory piece setup the factory way thankyou

[Rowdy]

pretty sure thats called boost leak buddy... and thats not efficient!

[Ehgriez]

In the comments theres some mentioning of how it operates etc which makes some form of sense. I'll reserve judgement till someone in the know says whats up.

[BeEnAr]

what's up is they broke their blow off valve in the design stage and decided to make it anyway. They do make filters for BOV's (Blits Super Sound had them for a while) but I think they were only there to change the sound it produced. This thing is blowing air out at idle and at wot and he says it's because of how efficient the turbo setup is. BS! This thing would play havoc on an Airflow metered setup, you'd be coughing and spluttering all over the place if you even made it out of the drive.

EDIT - Here's the link to the BOV on the manufacturers website clicky just go to products then BOV. Apart from them sounding not too sure what their BOV is exactly, it also says it will never leak boost. I guess that means aside from at idle or at WOT with an extremely efficient turbo setup

[VB-]

there is nothing wrong with what he is saying

the company had some brilliant ground breaking idea of having a BOV that opens at low load/under vaccum, from memory it was for quicker throttle response, as when you crack the throttle, the air has a much shorter inlet path to the plenum, because intercoolers and piping and the whole turbo system is a big restriction.

the guy in the video is talking about that product specifically, because it draws in air under vaccum, people like to put filters on them. but hes saying that because the bimmer turbo is so 'efficient' and flows enough air, that there is actualy no vaccum through the BOV (again, keep in mind, this is product specific).

stupid thing is, if there is no vaccum though the BOV, there is no need to use their product on that car lol. that said it will probly open if you suddenly stab the throttle. i still found it funny though

stupid things happen in america

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

OEM BOV FTW!

Maybe I'm just being a troll... but... "FAKE AND GAY."

[Downforce]

^^ Win!

[BeEnAr]

Maybe I'm just being a troll... but... "FAKE AND GAY."

yeah they see you trolling.... They Hating... lol

But seriously it is legit. Check out their website I posted the link to it earlier. seems they have figured out a way to make all the jap BOV's obsolete due to their new "better" design

[GBLOCK]

LOL! He's so passionate about it in the vid that I'm so tempted to take his word for it.
