Bov

yeah i was driving and i couldn't hear the nice psssh noise i hear everytime i shift mind you come to think of it i don't think i ever really heard it..... well anyways i dis connected the bov and looked and what i noticed was that the vaccuum line that connects to it make the bov in the open position is this normal? i doubt it, do you guys know what vaccuum line i should connect the bov to make it work alot better??? this aleast explains the lack of boost in my car....

Re: Bov

what BOV are you using? and what do you mean by the vacuum line was holding it open? was the BOV stuck open? if so you wouldn't be able to build boost cause that would cause a killer leak. If you're still using the stock one I can GIVE you a new stock 2g one, or you can buy a 1g one for pretty cheap. you might wanna invest in that anyway if you don't have one. Good luck

well thanks i know i'm not planning on turboing my 420a.......i already did but the only problem was my boost was very low if any and mu bov was always stuck open. this of course preventing boost; therefore, that is why i am on here asking if there is a certain vaccuum line i should tap into or not because my bov is always in the open position???

Re: Bov

If you are trying to build reliable boost, don't get a stock 2g bov. They are notorious for leaking even at low boost levels.

Re: Bov

BOV's get vacuum from the intake manifold. Stock 2g turbo BOV's have a line that runs directly there. If your BOV was open, you wouldnt build any boost.
