How To: Kill your turkeys

[Ryoga28]

Thanks Rich, I was finally able to track down the proper fittings after visiting two different autozones (20-30 miles apart) and I was able to replace the wastegate hose with a 3/16 rubber fuel line (no one had quality silicon vacuum lines around). The bpv and the bov both have delicated lines from the brake booster now. I noticed that the response time is a bit better and the bov is a bit louder.

Just one question though. The turkey is dead except for times when I rarely shift at low boost. Have you encounter this kind of turkey. Can it be tuned out by the bov or is it an inherent "problem" with the greddy type s bov?


P.s. the stock vac line were really brittle...I was trying my best to save the lines in case of warranty issues, but they literally fell apart on me. Hopefully nothing will happen as long I keep it at the stock boost (spiking to 7 psi and settling at 6 psi).

to bump an old thread, i had a question...

i recently did the maf relocation so that my greddy type-s (vta) is sitting before the maf on the coldpipe...i get turkey unless i remove a spring in the type-s and then it just leaks...can i hook up the stock msp bpv on the coldpipe after the maf to recirc to my intake without any issues?

Hmm. If you recirculate (measured air) from after the maf to before it, it will get counted again. Almost seems like it would do the opposite of a BOV setup on a car with the MAF on the intake.

Venting measured air via BOV with MAF on intake = rich.
Venting unmeasured air via BOV with MAF upstream = normal.
Venting measured air back into the system and measuring again = ???.

Let me ponder this for a bit... I have no testing available for it and I don't know anyone who has tried it before, but I have a feeling it would run less than optimal.

 

[fLyPiNoY7]

yeah...i was unsure about that...it just seems that even while im running full vta, im getting turkey...but from talking with a few people on mocc, im assuming its cause im running soo very little boost...

Yeah I'm getting turkey at 2-3psi but after that I get a good blow of valve sound. Well as good as can be with the blitz, I realy don't like the sound of it.

 

[fLyPiNoY7]

yeah...ill be doing a lot of adjusting on the bov to get it right and probably change out the wastegate actuator soon...i finally put back the 2nd spring in the bov so it shouldnt leak anymore...

For those of you who tee'd off the brake booster line, what size tees did you use? It doesn't seem clear to me...

sorry to bump this old thread but....

im looking into doing this pretty soon and i need some questions answered.
i have replaced my stock bpv with a forge and the turkey is pretty loud. i didnt think it was a big deal till i read this about compressor surge.

i also have a kinetic FMIC and a custom CAI. so my question is...i have relocated my maf and if i was to add a bov to the setup, where would i place it? the maf is supposed to be right by the TB and how i see it the OP has his bov there where my maf is. would it work if i was to place the bov after the maf (anywere between the BPV and the MAF), or does it have to be closer to the TB (simple sequence=TB-MAF-BOV-BPV? or TB-BOV-MAF-BPV?)

as per what bov i would use is a hks ssq but mine seems different than the ones pictured, mine does not have the adjusting screws

 

[tricky]

if you've relocated your maf to the charge pipe/ up by the TB you can run a bov anywhere before it. (TB-maf-bov)

also with your maf relocated your bpv is no longer needed

where can yu buy these hard pipes?

where can yu buy these hard pipes?

they're typically custom made but I know s t r e e t u n i t . c o m sells the charge pipe/ cold pipe with your choice of BOV flange welded on, if not check out the F/S section

 

[sp33d03]

in order to hook up the BOV you still have to keep your BPV hooked up.. and doing so i have to take the vacume line off the BPV and re-route it and then change a lot.. im kinda lost so if anyone can help me id apperciate it

Some people just T the line and split one to the BOV and one to the BPV. That is how I did the proto. Best way to do it is to tap the brake booster line twice or get a vacuum block, and then run seperate hoses to the BOV and BPV. Doing that has helped countless people who have PM'd me.

Sorry let me explain a little more... Tap the brake booster line with 2 T fittings. I believe the BB line is 3/8 but measure it to be sure (it's been awhile since I have explained this if you can't tell, haha). You want a T that will fit in the BB line on 2 sides, and then hook up to your BOV/BPV signal lines for the third side. Run those lines off to the valves. Now you are left with a stock line that can run untapped from the intake manifold to the wastegate. Cap the stock one if you want, but a new line is better.

Running like this is by far a much cleaner way to go. Giving the wastegate it's own signal has it's own benefits, and giving each valve a strong source will ensure that you kill every last bit of surge. Grab those T fittings and 10-15 feet of hose depending on where your valves are, and you should be all set right off the bat.

Feel free to PM me if you need.

 

[sp33d03]

thanks a lot guys, ill grab those t fittings and ill get some extra vacume lines and ill get started and if i have ques ill ask, thanks agian

 

[WIMSPWI]

what if i want to put my bov on the hot pipe/charge pipe, right in front of the manifold? would that work or no? i'd keep the maf by the filter and keep the bpv on too where it is

I opened this thinking it was preperation for Thanksgiving...
