to bov, or not to bov????

[Sandman]

hi all, currently running a td04 on the classic v1 wagon, will be upgrading to a td05 16g (when it turns up).

now have seen lots on here about blanking the bov off, and not running one. i have not found one definative answer as to the feasability of this, can the td04/td05 take it??? what are the advantages???

Tdo5 can take it

[scooby999]

I was told when I asked the TD range can take it but the VF's will just destroy themselves

[mylilscooby]

you still got ur tdo4?

[sumo-scooby]

If its a cheap td05 from ebay it wont last as a good mate found out with 2 from there

I'm actually thinking of blanking mine off..

What are the benifits of blanking off?

[karl1987]

sorry must cast opinion on this

why would you blank off?? i mean the idea i guess is that you dont hear the woosh??

if so why not just recirc?? surely by blanking off your loosing some potential benefit gains?

[Mortster]

Blanking gives the turbo chatter, rather than the woosh with a bov. Personally I like the wooooosh.

[simonairheadz]

the pressures gotta go somewhere?why would you send it back to the turbo,and force the fans to stall?no point really unless you value chatter over your turbo performance

[karl1987]

precisely

hence the recirc option.

[andy-m]

recirc and lose the intake snorkle IMO

[robinmgb]

+1 with personally I like the whoooosh

[scooby999]

How do you take the intake snorkel off,got as far as finding it but couldnt get the bloody thing out
