alot of people have asked me and i am quite curious myself cause i have no clue.

Can you put a BOV on a stock engine?

If so, would it serve any use?

thanks

Yes if its a stock turbo or supercharged (centrifigual) engine.

No on a n/a (naturally aspirated) engine.

A bov would serve no purpose on a n/a engine cos theres no positive pressure (boost) to be blown off.

actually a n/a can have a bov, i dont know how it was hooked up, but it was on my friends car, but there was no point, cause the sound the bov made was a chokeing sound

^ The choking sound is the bov opening and leaking air (vacuum leak).

If you want a bov for a n/a engine buy one of those fake electronic bovs.

Putting a BOV on a NA engine is the most gayest thing one can do..

I think the proper term for that is RICE.

thats a what i thought fellas.....thanks again and i'll relay the info

People probably want the BOV for its sound it makes when there is forced induction. like other people said, it's useless without turbo/SC.

i hate posting this.. but for those desperate for sound, but can't afford the turbo/SC:

you took the time to find a fake bov on ebay, so maybe we should flame you ... j/k

other then the fact that the fake bov's are just sad...is there really a problem with them? can you actually tell the car isnt turbo'd?

^ No... you can't. Fake BOV's add 50 - 70hp AT THE WHEELS!!!

1. They don't sound real. Theres some sound clips on a site that makes / sells them.

2. Their expensive. You can buy a real bov for the same price.

3. Turbochargers make a unique high pitched whining sound. Sounds kinda like a tornado. Drive next to a turbo diesel semi truck and you'll know what I mean.
