After driving home from work last night, everything was fine, my BOV sounded like normal until the next morning. It now sounds like a HKS sequential BOV?? Has anyone had this problem? I have a first gen blitz dd bov. It was also raining last night and i also drove through a puddle that was about 4 inches deep (itf that even matters) and the opening of my BOV is also facing towards the ground. My car is still holding boost so I doubt its the clamps/couplers.

 

I just strayed some wd40 on the bov piston, no luck. Doesn't seem like my BOV is opening up, just a fluttering sounds after i hit boost and release the throttle(sounds similar to HKS bov but not as loud). What could be the problem?

 

i bought mine used and at 1st it was fluttering like crazy
i took it off and tryed the wd40 and it didnt fix it
then i used some motor oil and it worked like a champ

i dont know if its the best idea but it worked for me

 

Check your vacuum lines, you may need a stronger source...

 

It was working fine before, i know i have a boost vaccum sourse becuase Im running a Golden Eagle vaccum manifold..

 

Okay, the sound that im hearing which i though was my Blitz bov sounding like a HKS bov, i think its my tial WG dumping the excess pressure. Therefore now my conclusion is that my bov is not even opening at all. Will it be safe if i drive around with my bov not functioning if i dont hit boost?

Basically my car does not have a blow off valve, since it doesnt seem like its opening up. Are you sure its okay to drive? Can't this damange my turbo?

 

youll experience compressor surge , but youll be ok , alot of turbos dont use blow off valves.....just dont go wild with it

 

cool... Yup, that explains the sound i've been hearing, definately compressor surge.

youll feel it more than anything..... **** i still get compressor surge

 

what gen blitz bov do you have? I have a gen one, so its pretty old, got it used and i bet it was also used for quite a while by the first owner.

 

disassemble the BOV and clean it up (piston) a light once over with some fine sandpaper (2000 grit) to remove any burrs may also help.

a few drops of motor oil may also help,

 

Yeah i was thinking about taking apart, but the way my bov and flange was welded on my charge pipe, i cant even fit a hex key where the flange is. Doesnt really matter though, gonna order a new drag fmic kit and bov tomorrow.
