BOV install location

[turbot3.8]

There is no speed or horsepower gain from a BOV, but doesn't a BOV help in preventing premature turbo failure?

It dont hurt to have one, they just arent needed on a Turbo Buick. I'll admit they sound cool though

Thats how my setup will be. Though I have a PTE stretch but thats exactly how I'm planning on doing it. Heck I got it for free, why not throw it on and piss off the GN guys in my area! hahahaha

It will really piss em off if you spank em down .. I say go for it

ha, there is only 1 guy that will likely beat me that I know at least. It does help that I've pumped 15K into the car in the last 2 year just because lol. The tranny was the biggest so far but what a difference!! I had a set of MT's and they didn't even last 3 weeks worth of driving hahaha

They just give all the excess pressure somewhere to go once the throttle plate slams closed
