No Bov On R33?

[dani3l]

hey guys, like the majority of you, after having my blitz bov for a few weeks, ive began to get really annoyed with that ***tty sound. i was thinking of taking the bov of and runnin the car without one. (dunno what happened to my stock one). would the car still run fine and safe?. ive got a s1 r33gtst with just a turbo back exhaust and a blitz pod on stock boost. would i begin to get that loud fluttering sound if i take it of (not a vl tutut fan). also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

any help would be appreciated

dude, you can't not have a BOV or Bypass Valve (which is what the stock one is.) If you cap it off You'll Sh#t your turbo!! If you just leave it disconnected, you'll have one hell of a boost leak. Find a stock one and put it back on, someone on here will have one for you, at a small fee ofcourse. As for running 10psi you'll be alright if you're tuning is up to snuff.

the car will run a little rougher than with the stock bov and could stall occasionally.

Yes you will get that sound.

also in the near future im getting a front mount and winding the boost up to 10psi. would i be doin any harm to the turbo runnin on 10psi with no bov at all? is there anything else recommended to upgrade on my car to run 10psi safely all day long.

Here's a recommendation.

look in parts for sale section and buy a stock bov for $20

save you a lot of hassles.

Not another bov vs no bov thread.

Your car will be fine, It may stall after a big lift off if you have a really short intake pipe, it will be a little slower coming on boost between gear changes. For those reasons alone i would install a plumb back bov but it isn't essencial.

I am yet to see one of these damaged turbos as a result of running no bov, i have never been told by a tuner/mechanic/workshop that i should install a bov because i'll kill my turbo, I've yet to kill a turbo by running no bov. Can someone please provide some evidence that no bov is pure death for turbos so that when ever someone asks this question we can post a link that shows a comp wheel with no blades and say "see"?

Then whenever someone in a mirage drives past and has some massive wheels and even bigger flutter we can all smirk even more.
