Yeah, you already have a BOV of sorts but it is plumbed back into your intake tube.

With the Synaptic you are venting to air so you need to block the port on the intake tube.

The TurboSmart comes with a cap just for this purpose.

 

ok...I will post pics of all my tubing tomorrow and you can walk me through it all...


But first,


What kind of BOV are these....I think I might reconsider something a little more discrete...I might get annoyed from all that PSSSHHH

Then you want one of these:

Does anyone know where I can get the fins, or whatever they call it where u can put into the BOV to maximize the sound. I think they're called megaphones or something...

HKS BOV's have them, not sure if there are independent makers of this

 

wrong.

compressor surge still occurs with a centrifugal supercharger. cap off your blow off valve, run to redline and shift. it's there.

as a matter of fact, compressor surge is even more of a concern with a centrifugal charger than it is with a turbo. when air has nowhere to vent to on a turbocharger setup it flows back to the turbo outlet slowing down the comp wheel with the possibility of turning it backwards. while this is not great for the turbo there is only one opposing force in this situation. with a centrifugal charger the same high pressure air will force back into the discharge of the snail and ATTEMPT to spin the wheel backwards. however, since the wheel is being pulled forward by a belt strapped to your engine, you'll have two opposing forces majorly fighting over each other. who loses? the fins on the compressor wheel. keep it up and over time the fins will bend and possibly eventually run into the comp housing - not a good sound or a good thing for your charger - ask me how i know.

as far as sound goes, you really can't compare any turbo setup to your car. due to the amount of boost made along with how linear the curve is, the valves will all sound completely different than if they were on a turbo setup. in most cases, even with a vented setup, you wont hear your valve release at all.

bosch makes a metal version of the plastic bypass valve that comes with all these kits - i may just end up upgrading to that one instead. it will keep all the hosing and fitment exactly the same while still providing a meaningful upgrade.

 

Telos, if you want a quality all metal (billet aluminium) direct replacement consider this:

And BTW, I'm no schill for TurboSmart. But when I had my Comptech I went to the factory, saw them made and tried out a dual port and full vent version and they are a quality product.

 

Looks good. No cheap cast junk there.

under 6lbs boost I dont think we will really hear much...it's there but not as loud as the turbo cars.
