Do I need a blow off valve?

[turbowrenchhead]

Now that the t/b is relocated to the pressure side with the addition of the V2. The backpressure noise makes me nervous. I have had the i/c hoses pop off at least a dozen times now in one day. I do need the heavy duty hose clamps though. I have never seen a sneeze valve let alone know how much they are and where you can get them. Are they adjustable? I don't even know if I need one. Any thoughts?

slowly release the gas instead of instantly removing your foot.. problem solved..

but yea you can put a BOV if you want.. import stores sell em..

you dont NEED one though..

Good topic. I'm getting one and I know what everyone says about not needing one. I figure big intercooler+ plastic end tanks+ lots of plumbing= a very large volume of air with no where to go. I measured the spike right before I pulled the spearco unit off and at 20psi if I slammed the throttle shut it would peg the 30psi guage for a split second. I think with the large volume and plastic end tanks (not a proven weak link) it's a good idea. You sometimes have to shut it down quickly.

HKS makes a good BOV for about $110. I'm only getting it for the functional part but they sure do sound good also.
