No a waste gate is made to deal with the high heat of the exhaust system, a BOV is not built for it. Plus a waste gate operates gradually to control the boost level. A BOV is open or closed. Boost would be erratic.
To hook up the wastegate and blow-off valve (BOV) hoses on a 1998 Eclipse, first locate the vacuum source on the intake manifold or throttle body for the BOV. Connect a hose from this vacuum source to the BOV's inlet. For the wastegate, run a hose from the turbo's compressor housing to the wastegate actuator, ensuring it is secure. Make sure all connections are tight and free from leaks to ensure proper operation.
No, you cant put a blow off on a non turbo eclipse. i have a turbo eclipse gsx. My car you can but yours you cant. You have to have a turbo to have a blow offWhat do you wantIt sounds like you just don't know what you want. A blow off or ( wastegate )relief valve is part of a turbocharger and releases pressure built up by the unit. If you want to shoot vapor in the air from your hood to look cool you want a Nitrous Oxide purge valve, in which case you need a nitrous system.Turbocharged engines have a wastegate that opens to vent excess pressure to prevent the engine from receiving too much boost. A sudden overcharge of boost will lean the engine out and cause damage.Hot rodders like to replace the stock ones with aftermarket units that deliver higher peak performance, and in the case of the uneducated hot rodder, instant aluminum scrap. Cars that whistle like a party favor may sound cool to you at a stoplight but I would not suggest buying one as a used transportation vehicle. If the maximum air flow is not controlled and compensated for by the injection computer then that engines' days are numbered.The blow off valve is a secondary safety device after the wastegate and before the throttle plate to allow the turbo to continue to spin when the throttle plate is suddenly closed causing a back up of extremely high pressure air that normally would stop the turbo compressor cold. When the throttle plate is opened again there is a delay in getting the turbo back up to speed and producing boost. this valve vents that high pressure hammer and prevents it from slamming back into the turbo compressor.
yes
No
It already has a blow off valve on it, and a rather good one.
No, without a turbo, there is no blow off valve. However, if you really wanted to, they have fake blow off valves for sale. These mimic the sound of a blow off valve. It would be an absolute waste of money, but hey, it's your money.
NO
Technically you can, but unless you have a turbo a blow valve won't do you any good. It's be like hanging sidepipes on a car and not hook them up.
Amazingly pointless. The blow off valve is there to release intake pressure if you have the turbo spinning and then go off the throttle suddenly. If you haven't got a turbo there's no intake pressure to release if you go off the throttle.
Where would you put a blow off valve on a non turbo, and what would it blow off? So the answer is no.
You can, but it'd be amazingly pointless. The blow valve is needed on turbo engines to release the pressure that can build up if the driver goes off the throttle quickly and the engine revs drops fast. W/o a turbo you won't get any pressure build-up so there's no use for a blow valve.
Install a blow off valve, it releases excess pressure from the intake side of the turbo
