r32 standard bov

[kostas1986]

hi i just purchased a 89 model r32 gtst and im new to all this. ive been told to take off the standard bov and block it so no air is released, hence producing a "flutter" noise. im not sure if this is bad for the car or not, if anyone knows could you please help me.

thanks

lol yes i know they will give me trouble but i just want to know whether its healthy or not ???

Its not healthy for the turbo.

Back pressure going through the turbo and out of the air filter....

nice sound tho

but wot about some cars that actually dont come stock with a blow off valve?? dosen't that affect the turbo? lol i really luv the sound incase you havent noticed, i want to keep it that way but if its doign damage then i will have to change it

i really dont think that the backpressure that u get will decrease the life of ur turbo in any significant way.

anyone know exactly how bad it is.

[kostas1986]

yer ive spoken to a few ppl and they dont think it can do any major harm, but then again there not exactly experts so im confused

[=premo=]

well im definetly no expert but if you think about the fact that the ceramic turbo wheel is spining at aprox 12000rpm then you change gears and it has its own pressure stopping it... i kinda think it would be like punching a brick wall instead of pushing water.

i like my turbo, want it to last.... althow im probably gonna try this blocking off thing just to hear it then put it back.

yes that would seem to be true. what about anyone else?? do yous know anything about this ??
