The picture above shows a Bosch bov. It is commonly found on Saab 900 turbos, but works on many applications. I read on the net that it is good only to 10psi of boost before it starts to leak. With my own experience at 15psi, I have not had it leak yet. |

Observations with the bov. Works great! Before the install, the turbo would make a whining sound each time I let off the gas to second gear. It sounded like something was about to break. It was also noticably hard to reach full boost after each gear change. It is a completely different car now. All the above mentioned syptoms disappeared with the bov. This is a mod I would highly recommend. |
