Is there really a down side to the 1G bov?

shep mpre then likely on 2 tial bovs...

20psi, on my 14b, before, my bov was leaking!!

you could always add another 1g BOV if one isnt enough. Im sure some one has one layin around that you could get cheap/free.
although, that would require some chopping

just another idea

I never understood running 2 bov's that just holds more pressure.. so if you run like 30+ or people that run like 20 can do it too? lol.. just wondering..

Running 2 bovs isn't for running higher leak-free boost. It's to increase the amount of air you can vent in a short amount of time to avoid compressor surge.

so i could run it, just to be safer?

If your not haveing compressor surge then theres no reasion to do it.

The best way to accurately crush a bov is to do it will monitoring the opening point of the valve while pumping it with vacuum. Hand pumps work best for this. Crush it and test it....crush it a little more and test it.

You want the valve top open at a vac level just over the vac reading you pull at idle.

Real information in this thread

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/8384/crushBOV.html There is a link to properly crush a 1g blow off valve. You can also do the turbo dodge mod and make it hold like 30+ psi no problem. For what its worth the 1g valve is perhaps one of the best ones you can own. Alot of after market valves were designed around it and its because the valve works.

www.dejonpowerhouse.com sells a stop leak kit for the 1g or greddy bov's that will allow it to stay closed at much higher boost levels and still retain the quick release feature that they came with from the factory.

My 1g was holding a good 20 psi or so from my 50 trim for a long time. Then i did another leak test and found it opening at around 14. I did the stop leak kit and it's holding 21 without a problem. Just another option to consider.

How Hard Was That Kit To Install

90blacktsiawd · Jun 30, 2006

Not very hard at all. But i got a modded bov with it as i bought it used. The hardest part was figuring out which lines went where as i got no instructions with it.

Unless you are running 30+ lbs of boost your 1g bov should be all you need.
