Hey all just wanted to know what you all have a BOV to atom. or a Plumback i want to know what you all use cos im thinking to go a plumback so the cop doesnt defect me. need help on a decision

i use whats commonly known as a "dosage regulatory pipe". i suggest you use one also Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

save your coin and run neither. plus there is nothing to defect. if you run a search it has been discussed in detail all before...

I ran a BOV in my old VL. The chicks loved it, I loved it too, but it just added extra hassles, potential to leak boost, unpredictable **** happened. Anyway sold that VL now I have another one and it makes a nice compression noise by standard, it's not as loud but I love it just as much.... From my own experience, I wouldn't put one on again..

yeh but i have been told that not having a bov at all will stress your turbo thats the reason for havin a bov but u can get illegal and legal ones

depend on how much nose it makes

what about one of the GFB "stealth" BOVs, yeah they are pricey but you can go from silent to a noisy one is a twist of the wrist.

Just get a plumb back put in if your worried... But make sure it looks decent... Saves your turbo Cops wont defect you puts the cooled air back into the intake pipe

yeh mate the supersonic ones are illegal because its not plumb back...get a stealth one where u can adjust it from queit to loud..turbosmart have a stealth series where u can get any type of there bov but in black so it blends in with your engine bay as usualy cops look for obvious aftermarket parts...

I've never seen a turbo break due to not having a BOV. think its more of a myth

I thought venting back through the turbo contributed to the amount of shaft play and in effect turbo longevity? As well as using a 270 or 360 degree thrust bearing. ??

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ofcourse it does didnt you know that???!! its like the little man in the fridge who turns the light on and off

lol sorry i was under the impression an auto didnt snap shut like a manual "wo0ps"
