hi all is there any point to having a bov on an auto? anyone have one on there auto? thanks

i have a imitation turbo thats bolted in my exhaust, so when u put the foot down, it makes a "spool" sound, $30 off eBay !! to answer your question, no you wont need a bov on an auto as the boost is constant through the gears Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thought so, i think was i getting a little confused with cooler flutter, dose, and that sound where the air goes back into the turbo for that whoomp

yeah but how many times do you close the throttle suddenly to shift gears in an auto? think about it.

hows the auto box going warpzOr, did u put it in the wagon??

not yet, waiting for some nicer weather so i can paint the engine bay... going to get a keas stage 3 shift kit put into it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You can still install a BOV even if it is Auto,... just means to make the BOV work you will have to release the accelerator for it to go off... A bit of a try hard effort if you ask me.

ive got an auto and i it has a blow off valve. it was on it when i bought it. it still goes off but only when you take your foot of the accelerator. i am currently waiting for my brother to engineer a peice of steel so i can take it off and block the hole. it just seems really lame

Im with you wrightoff mines a converted manual to auto and still have BOV at the moment, will be blanking this off asap....

That seems like alot of work, i just blocked the vuccum line that runs to my BOV up so it dosen't blow off.

is the vaccum line the one that comes from the plenum. and what did you do, just bung up the hole in the plenum or disconect it from the bov
