Aftermarket blow off valves

[Punishr]

Any guidance on good aftermarket blow off valves and where to have them installed (I'm a tinkerer but engines these days are significantly more complicated.. I'd rather have it done professionally. I'm in Michigan)? What's the benefit of having them and I bought the extended warranty.. Will this void my factory or extended? Currently 7k miles. Thanks in advance.

Ps, before I get snowflaked, I tried to search this but search results kept giving an error.

Why? Just for the noise?

And there are threads on this topic already.

Yeah... Why was literally my question.. Literally... "what's the benefit".... So your question was LITERALLY my question. Strong work bro.

Also.. I searched other threads and it delivered a fractured result for some reason. This will blow your mind..
But I mentioned that issue as well.

Thanks dude. Any benefit from install or just added release noise?

In general - aftermarket BOVs hold more boost than the stock BPVs - higher quality parts

Yes, I read that as well. However, is there any benefit to holding more boost besides a louder noise under the hood when it releases? The videos I heard are loud enough to be annoying, so I opted to skip this mod.

There is no benefit. “Holding more boost” I’m not even sure what that means. The valve opens when turbos are spooled up and the butterfly on the throttle body closes (you let off the accelerator) and it releases the excess pressure. Why you’d want to “hold boost” and increase back pressure on the turbo is beyond me. Unless the stock BOV is opening under stock boost levels at WOT, which is unlikely considering its electric, there is zero benefit.

The "why" here is important. The answer is that it does absolutely nothing for you. However, it does help make it fit into the import crowd. I am not sure how important that is to you.

 

[Raptor1988]

The benefit of an aftermarket bov is that it can hold more pressure. For example, some bov on vehicles are plastic and begin to leak past a limit. Unless you are trying to target over 25 psi then there really is no benefit other than the noise.

I have a 1991 eagle talon tsi with a holset turbo at 30psi running a crushed 1g bov. Holds pressure great.

Now those are helpful replies. Thank you. Yeah I dont care about the noise particularly.. Though I'm not against it. I would love to hear the turbos more though... Can't hear them at all. I can't hear them on my AtsV either though. Just miss the days I had a lightning I guess. Supercharger just made every throttle poke awesome.

I dont know what you mean by benefit? Do you mean performance benefit? In terms of power numbers it adds nothing. However as some have said it holds boost a little bit more boost which is beneficial if you are ant to hit high speed quicker. The noise is not annoying and is not super loud.
The only real advantage is that is a mechanical vs a electronic (stock) bov. Our trucks already come with a electronic bov. If you are asking if a bov is a must the answer is no. I changed out my intercooler and i like the added purge sound with my spd adapters and borla muffler ...to each their own

 

[Raptor1988]

If u really want to hear the turbos.....open up the exhaust and intake. Get a performance air intake with an open element filter. Free up the exhaust.

I really enjoy the sound of the turbo spooling and feels like a damn spaceship lol

I beg to differ on that comment!

Scroll ahead to the 34 second mark in this video and tell me that is NOT loud enough to annoy you...

This video was the reason I did NOT change mine, but to each his own.

 

[jabroni619]

Even the stock BOV will make noise if you have it purge to atmosphere instead of back into the airbox. No need to go aftermarket if all you're looking for is the sound.

A blowoff valve will not allow you to "hear the turbo more".

Open up the exhaust? I already have the Borla Atak. What constitutes opening it up, just a less restrictive intake?

Yes.... I'm aware of this. Was just replying to the question as to if I wanted to hear the Bov.. Doesnt matter to me. But I was just saying the noise I'd go out of my way to increase would be turbo spool...

Down pipe, spd adapters....not Borla...

Owners found the best combo is leaving stock muffler, and do adapters and down pipe.

Not sure what the ecoboost guys are doing but on my car i have a twinscroll t3 manifold with dual tial 38mm wastegates dumping to atmosphere and a 3 inch 3 foot downpipe.

I have the atak and i disagree with you, my stock muffler was restrictive in air flow, you can almost feel the air jammed in the front of the engine, the atak is a much less restrictive system , with spd adapters and air intake (i have a full race) the sound and the feel of the truck are 100% better .

The bov in my opinion does allow you to hear the turbos spooling a little better. Like i said earlier i like the sound it is not game changer either way

Here is a video of a few of my mods i have a few videos up on youtube , the bov can be heard a little https://youtu.be/_2IDQa1rnwM

I think your video does a great job showing folks that staying stock is the absolute best option.
