tgpguy21 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Where are you guys putting your blow off valves at? Ive been hearing alot of different stories lately and need to know what the easiest place to put one is. thanks for any help guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 i've always heard that the lower IC pipe is better, which makes sense to me - vent the pressure closer to the source. fwiw, the BOV will be louder on the lower pipe.

Canada Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I think I'm just going to use a bypass valve.......I want this thing to not stick out and for people to not know its a turbo car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I think I'm just going to use a bypass valve.......I want this thing to not stick out and for people to not know its a turbo car. are you going to route the air back to the air box (or intake pipe if using a cone filter)? my brother is using a TurboXS RFL and that thing is just a little toooooo obnoxious for me, but i like my 1g DSM BOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I don't know how I am going to do it just yet..........whatever is the quitest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I tried the upper pipe, not too much room there, I'm trying the lower one this sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam S. Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hm I got it close to the turbo. Actually the BOV blows on the turbo thereby giving me some extra cooling. Bad news is that you need to take out the cruise control. Adam S. P.S. sorry if the picture is too big, I'm still a virgin at this picture hosting thing.

Adam S. Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 extra cooling eh........ thats a intresting way of cooling... Hm don't know if this is sarcasm or what, but have you seen a Vortech BOV yet? My experience is with the Vortech and the Daytona BOV. The exhaust port is very different. Look at it and you'll see what I mean . Adam S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I've got my 1G where Adam's is. Check the WWW. that is in my profile. If it's any louder than where it is (pointing right out the louvre) I'd shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Okay ass, how about this: Click on the WWW THAT'S IN MY FUCKING PROFILE. Sheesh, Canadians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastSE2DR Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 ive heard its actually better to vent as close to the tb as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 When I do go 2 mount mind, the opening will be facing down so when it does open, nothing falls into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgpguy21 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 The throttle body thing is what ive been hearing too but i wasnt really sure who to believe. I guess when i go to mount mine ill just put it on the lower ic pipe. What kind of blowoff valves are you guys using and how much did you pay for them?

RareGMFan Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 OMG!! That second link....that's the town I live in!! No shipping, and he's got the brand new gasket with it. The only reason I've been putting off buying one of those is because they've gotten well over $30 every time I've seen them, plus shipping. I'm definitely going to be eyeing up this one! Muuuahahahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 i got my 1g DSM BOV for $5 from a local salvage yard (i don't think they knew what it was). i would probably mount the BOV wherever it's easiest...upper or lower IC pipe it probably doesn't really matter much. just try to make the vacuum line as short as possible between the BOV and intake.

FastSE2DR Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 i was gonna say how fast do you need it? i will have an extra here pretty quick you could prolly pick up for $5+shipping...but the only thing i cant guarantee when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badtgp Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Crush modding a 1g DSM BOV is fine. It is actually a really good mod for going over 15 psi. The one in my DSM has been crush modded for 4 years without failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
