Wouldnt it make no difference how many BOVs are fitted in relation to holding boost?

1,2, 5 or 10 of them fitted I thought would not give any increase in boost holding ability.

e.g If you had one of the plastic Bosch BOV and it leaked at 10psi I thought fitting another one would result in both of them leaking at 10psi?

I always thought the reason for having more than one BOV was for when running higher boost levels (36psi) it gave more total cfm release as only one fitted would struggle to vent all the excess pressure/air?

They would just share the pressure.

Each would pass half the air a single unit would vent.

Get two coke cans, shake them.

Poke one hole in can A.

Poke two holes in can B.

The pressure of the liquid ejected from Can B, will be half the pressure ejected from Can A.

Twice the total CFM, half the pressure.

They would just share the pressure.

Each would pass half the air a single unit would vent.

No Each would pass half the air of one.

As the BOV is set at a X pressure they would release at the same time

under the same pressure but would escape twice as fast

Poke two holes in can B.

The pressure of the liquid ejected from Can B, will be half the pressure ejected from Can A.

Twice the total CFM, half the pressure.

Cant use the can theory here. Its Not the same as BOV as the BOV is pressure set.

Twice the CFM but same pressure as a single BOV.

:D

To combat boost holding problems, dont companies have varying strength springs that you can install? My cousins 1JZ's blow off valve had a different spring in it, so it would blowoff at lower pressures because he was running low boost...

The spring constant determines how hard a spring is, get a stiff spring fabricated to suit?

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
