removing BOV

[rob77]

I've just removed the intercooler pipe which my apexi atmo bov was attached to and put the std intercooler pipe back in. My std bov is still attached, but has a metal plate blocking it off and I cant seem to remove it (I think its been glued with something on) anyway, will running no bov at all stuff up the car?

You need a bov, wether it be your stock or aftermarket.

Of course running no BOV wont harm the car...

What do u think the older cars were running before BOVs?

U will get turbo flutter and it does put a strain on the turbo but while u are trialling keep the boost stock and avoid quick changes just to be sure.

Besides myself i know a few ppl who havent always run BOVs on their car.

Thanks macka, I wasnt completely sure but I figured as much. All will be rectified with the std bov plate being removed tomorrow when it gets serviced. I wish people wouldnt comment if they arnt sure, I'm not having a go, but if you dont know dont comment.

I'm pretty sure me and sideways were assuming on a long term

basis.

When you off throttle, the butterfly close and the presure will hit back to your turbo "cold side" (without from bov), sure (my turbo won't hurt, coz that's your car!! ) if you want to run without it..

that just my 0.02
