New bov? - SRT Forums

Teerav · 11-07-2012, 07:14 PM

Hello I'm new to turbos and srt. Want to put a ssqv hks bov on my srt. Is it as easy as buy block off plate and put the new one on in-between the throttle body and intercooler? Not sure if I put this in the right thread and sorry if I didn't . Ty for any help

tunerlover3 · 11-07-2012, 07:31 PM

Yes its easy.

You shouldnt do it though. A external bov on a stock turbo is just for noise.

This ^ and you don't want to be one of "Those guys" lol Im still rocking the surge valve with a BFMIC and until I go Big Turbo it will stay that way.

listen to the people above me. i bought my car with a bov on it and i have had nothing but trouble out of mine. granted mine is a cheap greddy one. but once i find time to go back to the stock surge valve i will.

Well I have a mopar blue plate atmospheric now but I like the whistle of the ssqv so its as easy as put it between the throttle body and intercooler

If you are changing the bov just for noise..........STOP. Thats stupid.

There are how to's on here for a HKS bov install. Read them before you attempt this.

Ty for you guys help. But why is it stupid to do it just for a difrent sound? Will it hurt anything with the Turbo?

SRT4night · 11-08-2012, 05:16 PM

The location of the stock surge valve is better than on the cold pipe.. it can increase surge and cause problems with the stock turbo. Plus its just blowing money on stuff you dont need yet...

just my 2 cents.

Throw on the hks ^ these guys are just stubborn old farts

Teerav · 11-08-2012, 05:54 PM

No way man I trust the experience these guys have lol. And that's what I was thinking about the set up its at seems like it is to far away and will not let the boost out b4 it hits the Turbo ain't that what makes it flutter and tear it up after a wile? As you can see I don't know alot about turbos but have always loved the srt sence 03you

Teerav · 11-08-2012, 05:55 PM

I think ill just hold off for a bit do some more research b4 I make a nonsense buys .. but I do like the whistle lol

If you had a bigger turbo, then you could go with your HKS.

With the stock turbo having the surge valve right on the compressor cover, that is the best spot for letting out boost.
