QUOTE(easternpiro1 @ Dec 2, 2005 - 1:11 PM) [snapback]362531[/snapback] ok i found out what a blow off valve is for (to avoid being flamed  ) A blow-off valve is mounted in the intake plumbing between the turbocharger compressor and the throttle plate. The blow-off valve is a second safety measure against the turbocharger over-boosting and damaging the engine Optionimports.com but what causes overboost?its not to prevent over boosting. its to prevent compressor surge. basically when the throttle plate closes, the turbo is still spining but the compressed air has no place to go. this puts a lot of strain on the turbo blades and coul damage the turbo. with a bov, the presure is released from the piping and no surging happens and most important of all... its a cool noise maker -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
