Default BOV FAQ: The REAL dirt on BOVs. Ups AND downs. Lets dispell some myths.

OK!

Based on the recent influx of BOV related posts, and the ensuing garbage that many people have posted in reply to these, I have decided to make up a small FAQ to try to squash some of the rumors and just straight up bad information out there.

Yes, Unabomber has an FAQ on this. The fact is that it doesnt "get to the point" fast enough for most people to get the point. This is written more bluntly, addressing some issues head on.
We dont need 329872389472387 bits of data and links to valves. We need misconceptions fixed, and we need people to stop repeating the same bad info over and over. Or at least hopefully slow it down a little bit

First, some vocab, since some dont know what it all means

VTA=Vent to atmosphere
-this is the noisey style that is the most popular. 90% of BOVs out there are fully VTA (meaning they vent 100% into the air)
Recirc
A BOV that dumps the vent back into the intake stream. Before the turbo, after the MAF sensor.
50/50
Vents half into the intake, half to atmosphere. Makes some noise, doesnt swing as rich. Typically these are set up sequentially, so that on light vents, it dumps 100% back into the intake, this is so that at light boost/part throttle you get no rich condition, and no/less noise. At higher boost, the valve opens all the way, and dumps into the intake and atmosphere.

Now lets clear a couple things up. If it seems like I am pro-bov, just read everything. I get to the down sides further down.

1. BOVS make you run rich.
--No they do NOT! Here is why. When you are idling, driving around, and under boost, the BOV is CLOSED just like stock. The only way to be running rich is if the BOV was somehow letting air out post maf, WHILE RUNNING, constantly. The exception to this would be a valve that is leaking REALLY badly, and in a case like this, you will know there is a problem right away anyway, as the car will probably barely run. For it to leak this badly, it would have to be physically damaged or just REALLY f'd up


2. But what about when you shift? Arent you rich then?
--Yes. BUT, you need to understand a couple things.
First-The rich condition is not THAT rich. On most tunes the target A/F under boost is @11.1-1 or so. Say you are at 11.1-1, then you shift and it vents. It will swing rich, typically to around 9.5-1. That is NOT that rich.

Second- The rich condition does not last very long. On a typical datalogger, the rich condition takes up no more than 2 rows. You are rich for well under a second.

3. I heard its bad for my cats!
--Its not great for them, but its not really enough to shorten their lifespan in any meaningful way. Exactly how long are you planning to keep the stock cats or even keep the car anyway? Seriously, there are guys running around with 100k+ on their car, totally stock exh, with a bov. No cat problems. If you have a VTA blow off valve, and you lose a cat, you would have lost it anyway, because either the cat was bad to begin with, or your vehicle has some other issue

4. But people will think I am a ricer!
--Did they pay for your car? Are they making your loan payments? Will them thinking this stop you from getting laid? Exactly, then tell them to die in a fire and enjoy your BOV if that is what you want.
It should be noted however, that if you are the type of person that doesnt like people trying to race them, you may want to stay away from a BOV simply because so many ricers think that everyone with a BOV wants to race.

5. I heard that if I want one, I should do a 50/50 venting BOV.
--These are somewhat pointless. You still get the rich condition, just not quite as badly. However, it isnt that bad anyway to begin with. These are however good for people that want a little noise when they are on it, and little to no noise when they arent on it hard. Dont fool yourself into thinking that you wont run rich (because you wont "run rich" with a fully VTA valve either), you still dump post MAF air when it vents, so you still get a rich spot when it vents.

6. But I need one because I run more boost than stock.
--In most cases this is not true. GENERALLY the stock valve can be trusted till @20PSI. Some leak a little bit after about 18PSI, but 90% hold rock solid till about 22PSI, and 99.99999% hold solid at 20PSI. If you are planning to run more than 24PSI, you may want to consider going aftermarket. Over 26PSI, you need to either mod your BOV, or go aftermarket.

7. So BOVs are fine? I can run one with no real downsides?
--Not always. MOST aftermarket valves leak. A leaking BOV, DOES slow you down, and can over time, damage things. To make matters even worse, 99% of people who buy BOVs, dont know how to, or bother to, take the time to set it up properly. So even if they bought a quality valve, it may be leaking.

8. I have had XXXX brand valve for years, it has never leaked.
--How do you know? By looking at your boost gauge? Looking at the boost levels in your datalog? Niether of those prove that the valve isnt leaking.

9. Ok so how do I set my BOV up, so that it doesnt leak/stands less chance of leaking?
--Read the manual first off. Learn how to adjust it. If it doesnt have a manual, just look at the valve. You can almost aways figure out how to adjust it. Some have screws and such, some use washers under the spring. Others use replacement springs.
Now that you know how to adjust it, here is what you do.
First off, start the car, get out and open the hood. If you can see the piston of the valve (look in the hole it vents out of if its a VTA valve), check to see if it is moving at all at idle, or worse, partially open. You want that piston rock solid not moving at idle.
Now give it a little gas. It shouldnt move when you step on it, and when you lift, it should pull up a bit. Depending how hard you hit the gas, it will either JUST move, or fully open.
If its doing anything but what it should be, adjust it a little tighter.

Now go drive the car

When you shift at light throttle, is it venting? If so, is it a pure straight vent, or do you get a little bit of a "chufchchchc" noise right before it vents? That noise is compressor surge. Which isnt as bad as some people like to think and say. Ideally, you are looking to hear a little surge then a vent. Or no sound at all. Either is ok. Now drive it hard, does it surge a little or just straight vent?
Get out of the car and tighten the valve and drive it again. Repeat this until you get a LOT of surge when you lift under boost. Now start loosening it until you JUST start to hear no almost surge.
What the surge means is that it fought opening just a little bit. If you hear a LITTLE surge just as it begins to vent, that means that the valve is holding itself shut as tightly as it is capable of, without being so tight that it doesnt vent properly.

10. But OMG, compressor surge is horrible for your turbo!!
--Unless its really bad, it really isnt going to kill it. I had a conversation with Corky Bell (Author of MAXIMUM BOOST) during a BBQ at his shop about this exact subject and he assured me that compressor surge was nothing more than a bad sound, and that his early miata turbo kits didnt even use one, and never had problems with losing the turbo. This goes against everything I had previously heard, but as one of the godfathers of turbocharging I am going to take his word for it. This guy knows more about the subject than 90% of nasioc all added together.




Bottom line is this.
If you are wanting to be 100% sure you arent losing any power from it, and you are running under about 22PSI, you are best off sticking with stock. If you REALLY want the sound, then stock with a GOOD valve. You would be suprised at how many big name and very popular valves are junk.

Generally you can trust
TurboXS, APS, Perrin, TIAL (best one out there), the HKS RACE valve (not the SSQV) and a couple others. There is one very popular brand that makes a lot of 50/50 style valves, I am not going to name names, but searching my name and BOVs should bring it up. Its 3 letters and they are known for 50/50 valves.

How do I know this? Like what am I using to base my opinions?
I spent a good long time several years back testing valves. As many as I could get my hands on. Buying, borrowing, trading, you name it. All in all I had easily 30+ valves on my car. Multiple examples of the same valve whenever I could, to help eliminate the chances of getting just an extra bad (or extra good!) valve.
I was shocked at what I found. Almost all leaked.

11. So if I am making the same boost pressure, why does it matter if its leaking a little?
--Because even if you are hitting target boost, your turbo is having to work harder to get there. A harder working turbo produces a hotter air charge, as its higher in its efficiency range (or worse, completely out of it). This means less dense, which will produce less energy when ignited. This also means higher chance of detonation, which even if its very light, will result in your ECU pulling timing. Also bad. Lastly, hotter air in=hotter air out. Higher EGTs. Even if only slightly.

Ok so I read all your post and I thought it was very good, thanks! But here's the thing.. I just bought a 2011 WRX and Im not really interested in increasing boost or doing a lot of things to the car... Maybe full exhaust, bov, intake and some basic/cosmetic changes.. I'm not interested at all in chips or computers or nitro or any of that.. I want my car to feel GOOD and SAFE and also its my everyday car and I drive around 30 to 35 miles per day.. So here's is my question to you Davenow:
I want to add a BOV because I enjoy the sound, I dont really care about getting any attention or w.e. I could care less about people seeing my car lol But the thing is that I want a GOOD quality BOV and that wont mess my engine since is very new and I'm thinking about doing more than 3 o 4 things to it.... So what do you think about the:

Subaru Recirc Blow Off Valve

Price:
Part #: $299.99
PSP-INT-610

This one is for 2011+ WRX which is perfect for me since I have a 2011.... So what do you think about this BOV is it any good? will it damage my engine or w.e. ? Thanks again for the post and for responding(hopefully lol)

if google served me correctly, that is the perrin recirc blow off valve which is actually just a bypass valve like the stock one is. so getting this will do nothing for the sound really. i've heard that the perrin increases the sound slightly, but honestly, it is going to be a waste of money for the setup you have. the tial valves are definitely quality VTA blowoff valves, and although some tuners have had issues with them, most the sequential valves on the market are pretty decent. basically, BOV's aren't as bad as everyone in the subaru community make them out to be, and as long as the valve isn't leaking and is adjusted and installed properly, it shouldn't give you any trouble really. just in case you were wondering, i run the HKS SSQV-I and i have ZERO issues with it...no stalling when coming to a stop, no surging at idle, no overly rich conditions, and my subaru didn't spontaneously combust when i installed it...go figure ...been running it for a little over 50,000miles now (30,000miles on my stock motor and a little over 20,000 miles on the built motor)

I made FAQs long before him.

And his FAQs are so out of date, its not even funny. Unfortunately he is just too busy to keep them updated, and as new things are discovered, and things change over the years, they become less and less useful. The other problem is that his FAQs are based on a compliation of posts on nasioc, AND his own knowledge. The unfortunate reality is that much of the stuff in his FAQs, is based on things that were never correct to begin with, because a lot of the threads the info came from, were wrong to begin with.


If his FAQs were working, there wouldnt be nearly the problems that there are. The problem is that his FAQs dont get straight to the point, and dump out a bunch of tech info that many people just dont understand or take the time to bother reading. This FAQ was made for ONE purpose. To get straight to the point, and try to squash some of the myths.


Not to mention that I know more about it the things I write FAQs on. 20 years automotive experience teaches you a few things

Have you considered adding this stuff to WikiNASIOC? Wiki provides a method for passing on this kind of knowledge without the permission restriction that exists now.

In this case, Unabomber's original information could have been corrected and the most up to date information could be in place.

Dont get me wrong, his FAQs are a huge help. They just need some tweaking to stay current. A lot has changed and much of the info in them is off a bit and in some cases, no longer true at all.

And like I said, I think they are a bit too techy and dont get right to the heart of the issue of directly addressing the common misconceptions on things like intakes and BOVs.

I've heard from a subaru tech that the ecu will learn that the car is running rich and then take fuel away at the wrong times causing a lean mixture. Any truth to what he said or was he wrong?

I've got a hell of a lot of respect for the Unabomber, but his FAQ takes a different approach, and doesn't cover it as concisely as Dave just did. Everyone knows (should know at least) about his FAQs, but I guarantee most will learn more of what they NEED to know from this.



I don't see you spending an hour + on a single post to help people and dispell some myths

Here are my 2 cents
I love my turboXS RFL.
my car is fully catless and stage 2.
My car holds boost fine
My car idles perfectly
My car's backfires are minimal
The sound is amazing

Thanks for a good post. Hopefully some of the noobs will be able to read it before posting stuff

but how do you KNOW its not leaking?

TurboXS valves in general work very well. Just gotta use the right amount of washers for your particular car.

Oddly enough, the normal type-H seems to work a little better than the RFL. I cant for the life of me see ANY reason whatsoever for this, they are identical other than the horn on the RFL. But the 3 RFLs I tested had to have an additional washer to hold the same as the normal type-H.

When I dynoed my car with the stock BPV and later with the turboXS RFL, there was no change in WHP and or boost. With the turboXS you just gotta make sure the gasket is lined up properly and you have the correct amount of washers.

Has anyone had any experience with the Turbosmart Dual Port BOVs? I know its a 50/50 but I just like the look of it and it sounds good as well. Just wondering if it is considered a "quality BOV" just because obviously the manufacturer talks like its the best thing since sliced bread, but I just want to know if any one knows whether they leak bad or are a **** product?

I know Clark Tuner already answered your inquiry, but I can also vouch for the quality of this valve based SOLELY on my own experience. It's nice to hear someone with technical background confirm what I feel about this valve.

The valve is of sound quality, and when properly adjusted, never leaked for me. I fully intend on purchasing another one for use on my '11 REX. You won't be disappointed.
