bov questions....its recirclated now.....

[dwnshfter]

ok, i got it recirculating now. i am running one of those radiator hoses that has metal wire in it to keep it straight. my question is its REALLY quiet now, and it sounds like its spinning the turbo a little. will that cause any problems? what are you all running for a recir pipe?im not 100% loving this hose thing i have going, lol.....

it should be more quiet as the sounds are kept in the hose. but you should still hear it when air is released. just make sure the hose is the same ID as the BOV outlet

[dwnshfter]

it is. i really want to see a pic of a stock one though. the hose is hitting the wastegate so the intak pipe isnt seated perfect and i dont like it was thinking about going to an exhaust shop and getting a hard pipe made though. is there an aftermarket intake pipe i can replace it with?

run a hose from your bov to your intake and make sure there are no leaks. if you dont like that i guess you can just block the bov completely.

[dwnshfter]

what would blocking it completely do? would that basically be like having a dose (sp) pipe? wouldn't that be REALLY bad on the turbo? does no one have a pic of a stock setup?

not much at stock psi. im sure there is shorter life, but its not gonna happen tomorrow. just giving you options. my bro runs 35psi on his gt45 without a bov. the GN guys dont bother with em.

If I was running an automatic transmission I wouldn't mess with it either. In a manual car, you want the turbo to not loose momentum between shifts.
