·Hey guys,
Could you please inform me if the following is incorrect?
BOVs have advantages and disadvantages (I'm talking about vent to air BOVs). Advantage is that they release the pressurised air to atmosphere instead of back to intake pipe. This means that the turbine in the turbo spins longer and thus can spool up faster during gear changes..etc. Therefore reducing turbo lag. Disadvantage is that the car may run too rich. The air flow sensor still thinks the air is being recirculated back into the air intake pipe, but it's not. Thus there is a higher fuel to air ratio and thus the car runs to rich. You can then get flames coming outta your exhaust when gear changing. Also, there may be idling or stalling at low revs. This is because a vent to air BOV may leak boost...and this leakage may cause the car to stall or have idling problems. But if the BOV is good enough, then it should be air tight (like the HKS BOV I've heard??) when closed, thus acting like a standard plumback BOV thus meaning no/little idling or stalling problems?
Is this right guys? I just wanna learn more about the car that's all
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.
Also, which is the BEST BOV in your opinion? I wanna go for the HKS or BLITZ BOV - both vent to air
I heard that the HKS has better quality/technology (and it is a LOT heavier) than the BLITZ? That the HKS SQV is air tight when closed and will cause no/little stalling or idling problems?
