  • In this video we talk about the basics of how a blow off and diverter valves work.
    We talk about what the blow off valve (BOV) and Diverter Valve (DV) do, their purpose and what the difference is. This video is for anyone looking for a quick overveiw on the turbo system and how the blow off and diverter valves fit into it.

      @@LogieT2K My ASS!! All my 2020 GTI has is (APR intake, turbo inlet, turbo muffler delete, Forge BOV). Turbo flutter starts around 15psi, and sounds oohh soo sexy. I was surprised at how controllable the sound is, makes the car a one-note musical instrument. Drive light and granny it, it's barely heard. Dog it out a little, massive flutter and hiss. An excellent addition for driver/car familiarity and engagement. As for drops in boost, it's barely noticeable. Kinda like the car is, WITHOUT a BOV on it 😉

    • @T5_T-Rell
      @T5_T-Rell 5 лет назад +8

      a correctly functioning blow off valve only opens when the throttle plate is closed and you lift off the gas....it doesn't bleed off boost or cause boost to take longer to build up. It just relieves the built up boost once the throttle plate is closed.

If I'm driving on the freeway and am in or near my power band, I can hear a little bit of air coming out before shifting. Also, if I am going wide open throttle from second to third, I don't here any BOV noise until the RPM's drop down and I'm getting on it again. I just bought a modified 135i and am new to the turbo world. Not sure what is normal and not. Car is running great and putting down appropriate dyno numbers.
