If I am reading this right, you know its not to good for the turbo to block off the BOV??

You may already know this, but just thought I would check...

The amount of stress it actually puts on your turbo is well over rated.

Why do VL's run fine with out the bov? Answer me that

they would run well for a while, but that doesnt mean it there is no long term effect.

VL engines are old technology. if bovs werent needed then they wouldnt have put them on new cars.

Exatly what I was thinking...

You can't say that it is all fine because VL's don't have them, cause if it was all fine they wouldn't of introduced them to new cars...

It won't make your turbo shit itself overnight, but it does increase the shaft play of the turbo... Think about it, the turbo is spinning one way, you clutch, air has nowhere to go but back through the turbo the oppisite way to its spinning...... that can't be good.

Anyways not here to argue about it, I am sure everyone has their own opinion on it, and I am no expert. Just letting you know if you hadn't thought of it, which obviously you had.... so I withdraw my 2 cents worth :rofl:

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
