No BOV on yet

[nfernotalon]

I just installed my ebay intercooler piping and need to get a flange welded on for my BOV, it runs perfect and everything works great i just have to wait til monday to get a flange on there, i drove it and of course theres major compressor surge, so im trying not to stomp on it til I get that welded.

How long before my 14b blows up? Can I drive it like that til monday? Thanx guys

Holy crap dude. Everytime you even have the gas on a little bit, not even in boost, your turbo is getting fu%ked. How come your ebay intercooler didn't have a flange for a BOV. I would say DO NOT DRIVE IT. You turbo is probably already f-ed.

Its a universal kit thats why. I checked the for shaft play and its still fine. Hopefully itll make it to Monday

 

[dsmmatt28]

Why Monday im sure you can find someone to weld it for you on a sat.

 

[ja12ke]

Your scary.

 

[nfernotalon]

Yea I will see if someone can weld one on tomorrow, come on guys its just a 14b , no im trying not to drive it I just gotta work tomorrow thats it.

destroy that 14b and get a evo 3 16g but if you like that 14b DO NOT DRIVE IT

 

[dsmmatt28]

If you want to kill your 14b and dont care then drive it. It will more than likly make it till monday, if you dont boost it and keep the car under vaccum. But since its a 14b its kind of hard. If is makes it then it will if not that will give a reason to buy yourself a 16g

 

[nfernotalon]

Yes that is a good reason to getting a new turbo, your old one blowing up hm... I think you guys are playing the devils advocate

I actually drove mine around with not bov on the flange, so it was leaking out. I had a 16g on at the time would it hurt it?

That would be a MAJOR boost leak but its probably safer than no BOV, I bet your car ran like crap.

 

[pj91gsx]

. It always ran like crap. I wasn't driving it at the time. My brother just idled it around. Then it didn't crank after that. The timing was off. Now I have that motor back on the engine stand. The bottom end is rebuilt.

wow imagine i got an ebay kit flanged for a 50mm bov and i am guess the only bov comes 50mm is the tial some one please correct me if i am wrong so i cant install it till i save up all that money for the tial bov damn that sucks

 

[1996dsm]

if you cruise it and try not to make boost, i see no problem. But like some say dont drive it ''better safe then sorry''. Especially on a DD.

 

[nfernotalon]

Well update!! It BLEW UP! Just kiddin it still surges like hell even got a few runs on the highway and the turbo seems fine but monday there will be a BOV on there.

Oh and the intercooler and piping helped out quite a bit it pulls a lot harder than before.
