Hello, so, do you guys vent the bov? or recirculate bov?
i guess if you recirculate, then all the water/methanol will enter into the turbo.
any thoughts on this??

 

recirculate for me and most of my customers...

 

most people spray AFTER the BOV so that it's a non issue.

 

He may be referring to when the TB is closed and the system still sprays a little and the air goes the other way through recirc

 

exactly.

i accidently faced vent portion of BOV above(point toward the grill on the hood) and tried VTA for the sound, i noticed water/methanol vented to atm and hitting my front window when throttle body was closed. then i imagined if this water/methanol is recirculated back to turbo, what's gonna happen to turbo after long run...

 

Im venting out with the tial but considering the new version tial is coming out with i might go back and recirculate.

 

i got the stock 9 bov with ems & a br 3065 its recirculated to tone it down i hate the bov noise too many people use it to show off............

 

so you guys don't worry about water/methanol getting into turbo with recirculate??

 

It's one of many other worries, 30,000 miles and no problems yet.

 

I haven't thought of this yet, I would like to know if anyone has witnessed ill effects from this.

 

If you have the solenoid hooked up, this shouldn't be a problem right? Since it will immediatly stop flowing?

 

recirc all the way............search it there is alot of writeups......

 

theoretically, it should stop flowing but in reality, i see water/methanol sparying to atmosphere when throttle valve is closed. so, imagine if this water/methanol is recirculated, it means it going straight into the turbo.

 

Im still installing my hfs-5 (slowly) but assuming your connections are good and all that, and you are still VTA-ing meth/water, I am curious about this too. I recirc, and I plan to use 100% water, Im not sure if meth or water would be an issue going through the turbo...??

 

did you even read what this thread is about?
