The blow-off valve (BOV) is typically located on or near the intake manifold of a turbocharged engine, often connected to the intake piping between the turbocharger and the throttle body. Its position allows it to vent excess boost pressure when the throttle plate closes, preventing compressor surge. In some setups, it may be integrated into the turbocharger or placed in the charge piping. Always refer to specific vehicle service manuals for exact locations, as they can vary by make and model.

Where is the blow off valve located on diesel engines?
On diesel engines, the blow-off valve, often referred to as a wastegate, is typically located on or near the turbocharger. Its primary function is to regulate boost pressure by diverting exhaust gases away from the turbine when the desired boost level is reached. This helps prevent excessive pressure that could damage the engine or turbocharger. In some setups, the blow-off valve may also be found in the intake system to release excess pressure during throttle closure.

No, but if the valve is intended to blow at high pressure and you have it connected to the negative pressure of a NA engine intake so it will never open.
