just wondering, can you put a blow off valve on a non turbo'd engine? I use to have a turbo'd eclipse and I miss the blow off valve sound. Do you NEED a turbo to have a blow off valve?

 

no you can't

 

didnt think so,, oh well, ill just have to get a turbo then...

 

you can get one, but everyone will laugh at you. and it depends on the blowoff valve itself as to the sound it makes.

 

u can have a turboed engine without a bov, but u cannot have a bov with a turbod engine, and if im wrong and u can, its still retarted

 

*fixed*

 

how am i wrong, dont volvo engines come turboed without bovs?

 

Stock turbo setups can have a waste gate and/or programming in the ECU to cut the fuel if the boost reaches a dangerous level, instead of a blowoff valve.

 

Yeah I think they sell something like that on ebay. And then you can get a fake intercooler too, lol. Don't get one, seriously, everyone WILL make fun of u. It's one of the riciest things to do to ur car. Save the bucks and get a real turbo.

 

All turbocharged cars have wastegates.
