The guy that said that the vortech race BPV doesnt work is a lying to you. Its works fantastically.

You cannot use a BOV off the shelf. BOV is closed under non-boost situations. A BPV is open under non-boost situations.
gotcha well i dont have a bpv what modifications would have to be made to run a bov?

if you can adjust the springs, then i might work. since you already have it, might as well use it.

But, thats not what it was designed to do.

I was looking into vortech as well, are most people running V-3 vortechs?
I have gone through the install manual to get myself aquainted and most say tapping of the oil must be done. The V-3 is self lubing, im guessing the v-1 and v2 are better than the v3 due to fresh cool oil going through?

I may be wrong and would appreciate the insight.

Thanks, and GL op on the build

OP why do you think the Vortech BPV is bad? Everybody else runs it without a problem other than it can be considered "loud".

V3 is fine, V2 is fine. Install on either is way easier compared to a TT.

You're required to change the oil in a V3 regularly but you have to change your engine oil basically with the same frequency so doesn't matter.

Since the V2 uses your engine oil, technically it would put more strain on the oil and cooling.

i dont think its better or worse. i said the person i purchased the kit thought the bpv was no bueno so he bought the synapse when he had planned to install the kit and threw it in on the kit

i got a reply from synapse about running their sb001 bov on a supercharged vehicle and here was the response.

john,

A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #777171 with the following response:

The SB001 units are fine to use on supercharger setups. On larger air flow applications, or higher boost applications, it may be preferable to use the DV series diverter valves, as they were designed to flow more air than the SB units. If the SB series is not able to flow enough air on your setup, you will experience a bit of surge in the higher rpms.

To improve the reaction time of the SB series BOV, I'd recommend removing the smaller diameter preload spring from the back of the unit. This will allow the fastest reaction time. It should be possible to run the BOV as it is out of the box without any issues however.

Thanks,
Chad Gojmerac
