Dodgy Bov

Can a dodge BOV blow a turbo???

No, a lot of people run no BOV.

....Unless something breaks in the BOV and gets sucked into the engine that could blow the engine up, but that isn't going to happen.

One thats bypassing possibly could.. Overspeed?

If it were to jam shut it won't blow the turbo.

what do u mean by that?

[Cubes]

what do u mean by that?

If its open, venting constantly. Its near impossible for the turbo to generate any form of boost.

Not sure if its possible as there most likely wouldn't be enough exhaust gas to spin the turbo to such a speed.

ok thanks... as u might of guessed by turbo isnt spooling anymore... and my boost guage doesnt go past 0psi... i was thinking that my BOV had something to do with it.... buut i wil have a look around for any leaks.

Ceramic exhaust wheel.

Ceramic exhaust wheel.

is it fixable.. driveable right now.. and expensive to fix?

[BAMR33]

$300 for rb25 turbo and a heap in labor cost to swap it over or DIY and save moneyies

[BAMR33]

And no, probably not the smartest thing to continue driving.

i dnt actualy think its a blown turbo because there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust and everything seems fine... except from the problems i explained earlier

[Trust33]

Do as they say,they speak the truth.All pending the diagnosis of course.

I had the same problem with my car. Just got it fixed. It was the exhaust manifold gasket was leaking. put new gasket on it and back to normal. maybe a little better.

that shouldnt cause no boost.....they dont always blow smoke when the rear wheel comes off, i would be pulling that turbo off. Take out your cat and see if theres any bits of turbo sitting in it

no the only thing that over speeds a turbo is boost. not leaking bov.. cos if its not making boost its no got the same leval of exhaust going thru the turbine making it spin.

[MANWHORE]

I'd say the only possible things here are:

1. Waste gate acuator is either busted, or the little rod has come off the knob - no i'm not joking.

2. turbo is blown

3. intake problem - intake piping has either come off, or one of the silicon hoses has split into 2 pieces or something.

bov won't cause you no boost
