now, i'm a membrt of the SES, and as part of our training we had to learn all about hydraulics, its been a while since i learnt about pascals theory from physics in school, so i read up about it, and can now apply the pascal theory to a BOV.
A BOV will open up when there is vacume pulling on it, there is a spring in side that allows this operation only at a pre determined vacum pressure ... in a similar way, it is closed when above atmospheric pressure is applied to it ...
the simple matter is, when you run MORE boost, there is no way for the bov to leak, as an equal amount of pressure is closing the value as to the amount of pressure being applied to try and open it from the bov inlet side ...
is my thinking correct here so far ?
so if this is true, there is NO performance gain over having an aftermarket bov, there is no LOSS to keeping the standard bov as in pascals theory, it is unable to leak .. aparently simple physics determins it true ....
have i got it all wrong ?
comments anyone ?
cheers
