BOV w/o a super??

[caryhson1]

hey guys...yesterday i raced a 2G eclipse in my 2000 eclipse gt and i KNOW i heard a BOV so i was a little afraid to race him(noone likes loosing) the weird thing is i still beat him...now is it possible to install a BOV w/o having the supercharger??U think thats what he did? what would be the point?? where would you install it?

Sure. You can install it with a turbocharger

And you could install it, but it would do absolutely nothing, not even blow off.

If you beat him, he may just have the OEM turbo setup with an aftermarket BOV.

you can also by those fake BOV things off ebay, which will make the sound when you take you foot off the gas

you do know that the 2Gs come with turbos and not superchargers, right?

even if the 2G had a stock turbo, it will still beat a GT eclipse if the driver of the 2G is moderately good. he doesnt have to be that great of a driver to be a 3G GT. maybe the guy just sucked at driving.

also, there is a big difference between a GST and a GS with a turbo kit

those drivers suck. a fairly decent driver with a 2G GST 5spd will dog a 3G GT 5spd with the best driver. the 3G will get it off the line with its torque, but once the turbo spools, its over.

and with yours being the sportstronic, then yours has even less horsepower than the 5 spd

why would somebody get one?? so they can make everybody think they have something under the hood.

i really dont know how it works. i think it goes by the throttle. when you let off the gas, it makes the sound
