Let me add something on a subject of BOV's.

A purpose of a BOV is NOT to make a cool wooshing noise.  It is there to prevent compressor surge by evacuating the air out of the charge piping when you slam the throttle shut. The sound is created when there is a restriction in the flow of air.  Do we like restrictions? When it comes to our exhaust we do not...so why do we like a restriction in our BOV?

go home and have yourself a beer Sov

and thanks, you ever notice that you can ALWYAS learn more about turbocharging a car? lol I'll never know if i have enough knowledge to take on a project myself


There's always stuff to learn, I am still learning a lot every single day. Just remember, two years ago I knew nothing and had a big front window "Honda" banner along with some lovely windsheild washer nozzle lights. I've come a long way, and you have to take it upon yourself to learn this stuff.

Also, another big thing I've learned. When it comes to cars, you're going to learn so much through reading, after that a lot of what you will learn will be on hand learning through building, trying, succeeding, and failing.

Oh, and I don't drink.
