mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 kinda new to the whole wastegate thing, just wondering if you run a B.O.V with one really? or can you get some sort of a bung and just run off the wastegate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You can use both if you want i think its best to run both not to keen on realising pressure into the system id rather it go into the atmosphere but if you want to just run off the wastgate then you can block off the vac pipe for the .bov on the inlet..Im sure people will have different views on this so just go with what you think is best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 As above can run it either way some people claim it shortens the life of the turbo if u don't run a bov as it stalls the turbo blades when the pressure surges back out of the turbo. But no one can realy prove it I've done it both ways had no issues with either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 i havent got the wastegate yet, but from what you have been saying it would be no different if i was to take the B.O.V off now and just let the turbo chatter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thats right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah i run both with mine matey. Havent ran the SSQV for about 4months now though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah i run both with mine matey. Havent ran the SSQV for about 4months now though.lol, so you dont run both now? do you get a bit of chatter? how do you find the response when giving it beans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) BOV and wastegate are completely unrelated but often get confused.A wastegate is what opens when your turbo reaches whatever boost pressure it is set to run at, it allows excess exhaust gas to bypass the turbine to avoid over boosting/over speeding the turbo.A blow off valve releases pressure in the intake system, when you take your foot off the accelerator the throttle plate closes. The air in your intake system between the turbo and throttle body now wants to escape, but the only place it can go is back out through the turbo. This is what causes "chatter" but can also be bad for the turbo, but I doubt a little bit of boost on a CT9 is going to do any damage..

mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 lol, so many threads about the whole its bad/but there is no real evidence etcas you said, seeing as though im only running .7 through a ct9 hybrid i very much doubt it would cause much damage if any! im sure people are running hefty turbo's without a B.O.V and have had no problems?

mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 phaha, no chance of that mate! im having a manifold kit made up for me now! if the hybrid fucks up, il just go td12 i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've been running mine with chatter for two years no problem turbo still good and sounds mint once running a decent amount of psi through it all good if u ask me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Im not running the SSQV cuz i prefer chatter, if i connect up the SSQV It'll slighty chatter but still dump all the time just sounds weird.No difference in spool up times at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 i think i might remove the B.O.V to be honest, its only a baileys one so i doubt it would make much difference wether its there or not and when i come round to doing it, what can i use to block up the hole on the intercooler pipes?

Ryan-11 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 just pull the vacuum pipe off the bov and block it with a bolt, leave the bov in. if u really wanted to remove the bov just block the hole with anything that fits it lol, i used a coping saw handle.

mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 lol, that could be something to think about ;)can you get bungs or something to stuff in the hole? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 yeah u can buy bungs of ebay, just need to make sure u get the right size.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Hose-Blanking-Plug-Bung-BOV-Dump-Valve-CNC-Aluminium-Billet-Pipe-Silicon-/290654289625?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item8961d490d3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 aha, nice one cheers mate i thing that would look a bit better in my bay than the end of a broom ;) lolso i would just basically take the B.O.V out of the silicone reducer i have on the pipe and stick one of these in instead?

pick1 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yes mate that's it just bung it up causing full on chatter and let the good times roll chatter is the best noise ever lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
