Anyone know anything about this BOV? Junkyard ... volvo ... blow off valve
I got it off a volvo, bolts right to the compressor housing. Has a mitsu sign on it. I will get some pics up later.
I am curious on how much boost it could hold and it mounted kind of funny - like there were 2 passages on the bottom but it has slots around the top to vent the air out. It looks like it is either recirculating on the bottom or venting from 2 spots on the compressor.
I know it is hard to envision it so I will get some pics up of the housing (if I can find it) and the BOV. Maybe one of you junkyard guys know what I am talking about.

Ive had a few of those pass through my hands. Its really soft but would probably be fine up to 10-13 psi. I doubt it flows much compared to the aftermarket ones but the construction is very solid. Seems like it would be a waste of time to make it work without the compressor housing it comes from (which is part of a very very small turbo). There are some much nicer bypass valves that came on volvos you might want to check out. One looks like an external WG kind of and has more workable 2 bolt flanges on both sides.
