proxlamus© Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 ohh dear.. hook up the vacuum tube.. to a port on the INTAKE manifold.. that's it.. when the pressure goes from BOOST (full throttle) to VACUUM (no throttle) the BOV opens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy36 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 ?WTF? You don't need a blow off valve on a diesel. Since you have not throttle plate, you will have to backing up of air as the non-existant throttle plate closes. Simple, you do not need! Your engine doesn't even make vacuum to pull one open! I do believe that some companies sell an electronically actuated one if you really want to have the sound. IMO, you'll look like an idiot having one on an engine that doesn't need one.

zguy36 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 The first time I heard a BOV on a diesel, I thought I was going nuts. I ran home real quick and did a search and found those electronic ones, and spend the rest of the night laughing that someone would pay 500 bucks to put a BOV on their diesel.

Guest ZFury Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 BOV should be placed close to the turbo. On the exit side/ high pressure side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
