Re: What BOV do I need?
I would think the 45 would be better at dumping the pressure from that turbo than the 38 would, but i'm just guessing.
Re: What BOV do I need?
You dont "need" either of them for the turbo to work properly. I've been running a T-63 in my Ty for 4-5 years now with no problems.
I know the BOV is helpfull but not fully needed. I think if you were running a 5-6 speed manual transmission it would be more beneficial.
Good luck,
Nick

This is true, you would really see a benefit from a manual trans vehicle. I think he just wants to be cool like me!

Re: What BOV do I need?
your needs depend on the boost level you are running.
Another member on here lost 3 turbos in quick succession due to high boost back pressure through the blades.
I suspect you probably do need one. I will run one for sure when I get mine going.

Re: What BOV do I need?
This pretty much sums up the whole BOV thing. I can think of literally hundreds of things to spend that $$ on that would be far better.
The only worthwhile benefit is the possible decrease in thrust bearing wear in the turbo.

Must be some purpose for them,, Audi's, Vw's have diverter valves,same type of function,just recirculates excess pressure back into the intake system.
Hard to see a car manufacture install a part that does not do any good. They usually try to save $ & not add anything extra if they can get away w/it.:2cents:

X2. however, on our motors the boost level (stock) was low enough to not have to have one. It's gotta be bad to let off the gas at 18psi and have all that pressure stop and have no where to go. :2cents:

Re: What BOV do I need?
By buddy who races for Vivid Racing only uses recirculating type bov's. However on his new STI he has a 50/50 and likes it. He says you dont want all that pressure on the turbo but some gets you back into boost faster . Sounds like it makes sense. I would go gor the smallest bov i could if you decide to use one.
