A Blow-Off Valve (BOV) in a turbocharger system serves to release excess pressure when the throttle is closed, preventing compressor surge. By venting the compressed air back into the atmosphere or recirculating it into the intake, it helps maintain turbo efficiency and prolongs the life of the turbocharger. This action ensures smoother operation and quicker response when the throttle is reopened, enhancing overall performance.

How do you make your turbo flutter?

Why can't you put a BOV on a non-turbo car?

Because the bov requires pressure in the intake system to work, this pressure comes from the turbo, no turbo on your car no pressure in your intake system to work one.


Is there any way you can fit a bov on a non turbo car?

you can fit a bov but will never hear it working. Without turbo you'll never reach pressure in intake to make it work. So installing it in non-turbo is worthless

Can you fit a BOV into a non-turbo car?

BOV's (blow-off valve) are to prevent too much positive pressure from entering the engine due to boost build-up and to releave back pressure from re-entering the Engine. A non-turbo car cannotuse a "BOV" since there is no turbo and/or positive pressure present in the intake manifold. This is STRONGLY not recommended, on NON-Turbo cars. As there is not reason for it to be present.


How turbo turbo charger function?

A turbo charger uses spent exhaust from the engine to spin a compressor wheel. This wheel spins a "fan" in the front of the turbo housing and sucks in and compresses more oxygen. Because more oxygen is being forced into the engine, more power is produced.
