BOV yes or no
I completely understand both sides of the discussion. There's your side:
Stubborn, and incorrect.
Then there's the other side:
BOV's (or WTF ever you want to call them) are an ASSET to a turbo system. If they weren't no one would have them.
You seem to think that for some reason your hard-headed argument with lack of reason and documentation is going to make up for years of R&D and product design, setup, and installation.
Run your system with no BOV/DV/whatever and post your findings if you are so damn correct.
You need to alleviate additional pressure in the system to give the turbine the right atmosphere to do it's job efficiently.

And again, I'll believe a "friend" who does this stuff for a living over 90% of the people on the internet. And you can use that logic with me too.

Hey everyone, I just got done reading this thread and I have to say somthing, Beer goggles you can't compair a diesel engines turbo to ours they dont use BOV because they dont need them their turbos are large and do not spool as fast as ours and this is coming from a friend of mine that is an ASE certified diesel mechanic. Dont be head headed you lost this argument. I got a BOV installed, and my 1420's ball baring turbos are definitly at risk without one.

From first hand experience we have run Jim Wolf Kits with SSQV's and BOSCH units. They do the same thing. Jim Wolf also had to incorporate a recirculating design in hopes to pass CARB certification. In NYS an atmospheric BOV can be considered illegal because it is essentially dumping engine/exhaust noise into the surrounding environment. There will always be some kind of dividing factor among users of atmospheric or recirulating BOVs. Porsche uses BOSCH units. Yes they take the stance that why remove air from a system when you are tring to increase it, but in all honesty it probably has more to do with noise ordinances than anything else.
