Big Red BOV
Im pretty positive on getting the BOV.
I wanted to get some other comments/info from guys that have been running it.
How much boost have yall gained with the addition of the BOV?
Any and all other comments are welcomed!

When I installed my BOV I gained about 11psi...
But I did have the BOV from the start. So maybe it was the turbos that gave me the boost and not the BOV... Idk

You dont gain boost from a BOV. ???
BOV stands for BLOW OFF VALVE!
It releases compressed( boosted) from intake piping when you let off the throttle so the compressor doesnt back surge or spin backwards causing wheel damage.
If im missing something here please correct me.

Wesley, just bring it over here one weekend after 4th of july and we will throw it on. Shoot me a text tomorrow, I need to get a trans here soon for that black truck.
Oh and the BOV just releases the crompressed air in the intake charge pipe that the blower has already compressed but when you get off the throttle the tb blade is closed so its hard on the turbine of the blower. You get a BOV to release that excess pressure by using a reference line from behind the TB to allow the BOV to open up once the intake manifold sees vacuum.

It all depends on what your running now with your procharger. If you running the stock black bypass valve you will probably see a gain of boost with the big red valve I did any way. That stock bypass valve is junk it leaks boost I gained 1-2 lbs from the swap. Just be warned it a very loud valve ... sounds something like dragging a peice of card board under your truck for an example.
