Here is one of the pulls
really like what you've done with the rail......so out of curiosity what did the turbo and bov cost? and how close to the comp housing did you mount the bov? does it have a removable outlet so you an screw a fitting in to recirc back into the air cleaner inlet tube if you wanted to?
was that a fresh trans? glad to hear it is meeting your expectations and sounds like it's running very well but not good on 3 rd gear that always sucks
Well,I'd be soooooo happy about how it ran but any idea why it let go?
Well,as we know,stuff happens. Good to hear the motor is making you happy! Just curious,did the trans shop mag the gears and such while it was down?
the reason i ask..........after talking to ian at turbo lab about which turbo i am looking for and what i want it to do and camparisons to the borg warner efr series. the efr has a built in bov and waste gate. so after buying a turbo then waste gate and good bov your not far off. now we were talking about the bov being a recirc rather than atmosphere. now when i say this ....prob miliseconds or seconds but......ian says placing the bov as close to the comp housing is the best way to go. he says if you place it at the throttle body then the bov dumps the system. if you place it at the comp housing outlet then it dump the pressure right there rather than the whole system but still drops the pressure that would have an effect on the butterfly plate. this discussion was based on my statement of on and off boost repeatedly as opposed to on the strip racing, in comparing diff turbos. ian is a nice guy and takes the time to discuss such things with customers, not to many do anymore.the efr has the bov built in to the comp housing to recirc for the fastest re spool response and that is why i asked. i know some will post there opinions on this and i would like to read them as it does make sense but tried and true is always better than speculation. i have found several bov's that the horn un threads and one could recirc that back into the inlet stream on the air cleaner side. thoughts anyone?
