Default BOV on a supercharger?

Supposedly this is a Turbo XS bov on an S/C... is this someone on here? He has a few videos driving it and it doesnt sound like the BOV has any sideaffects... sounds pretty cool.

Of course there aren't any side effects, tons of posts about people running a bov on s/c. You run a tad rich between shifts, big deal.

Its a horrible idea running a bov with the s/c. You are releasing air instead of dumping it back. The best option is to get the 007 bpv - its the best for the s/c setup. Plese search, there were many topics on this throughout the years.

its not a horrible idea to run a bov on the s/c what makes you say that, it runs fine, you run a bit rich between gears big deal.

There were people who were causing their cars to sputter and it was strictly due to the loss of air. The s/c was designed for a bpv and I couldn't tell someone to do anything but that. Some guys like the sound - but I wouldn't give the sensor wrong readings for a long period of time - but thats just me.

Our car cuts fuel when you let off the gas anyway, running a bov doesn't have any side-effects to the sensor and the little bit of extra fuel in there shouldn't affect things much. I ran like this for a year without any trouble, i wonder if those same people with problems had their bovs setup right. Just look at the turbo guys they are all mostly running bovs.

Anybody else care to comment? I remember a bunch of posts from about 2yrs ago but Im having issues finding them. I ran a few bpv's with my s/c (when I had it) and the 007 was perfect.

i remember seeing a post about it too, but haven't seen anything since. I ran both bpv and bov and both performed the same.

^only thing I would want to see would be the data log. Having things seem ok and having them be ok might be a different story. 3am - im off to bed - hehe.

what do you expect to go wrong? running rich for 1 second between shifts won't break anything.

The stuttering might be more from a bov that opens too early or too late than from it just being there. Only side effect i ever had were really loud backfires, but i saw that as a bonus lol.

I have been running the hks bov on my 07 tc s/c and its works great. I agree with gompka that it runs a little rich for half a second, not going to harm anything.

I was running a 20psi spring for it to work right, i think lots of people are using the "upto 10psi etc" spring and its not tight enough.

i have one .you just have to make sure you adjust it, and cap off one end .coz the bpv has 3 inserts 1 for you vac line 1 for your intake 1 for your dump .outher than that make sure you weld on the steel cap and layth the end to fit .also make sure you lip the end or your hose or it wont clamp and hold

lol hey thats my vid. lol there is no bad side affects on running a bov, most people think u cant run a bov because most people think its a root style s/c. but our s/c is a centrifugal. which means it runs with a turbo like blower. the ecu is running like that air is suppose to be put back between shift which is way it runs rich but that only for a couple seconds if that. i did post a diy on how to do it.

if u hear anyone say that it will ruin ur engine u should kick them in the *****, then point and laugh then walk away. ive been running it for over 6 months and have no problems
