There's a guy there saying the valve should be open at idle.
However, is the BOV sucking air in at idle? Or pushing air out? If it's pushing air out, why are people still "filtering" their DIY DV to BOV conversions? |
There is really no reason (to my knowledge) for the BOV to be open at idle on a turbo car... The BOV will suck air in at idle because you are operating under vacuum... The reason the Corvette guys want it open at idle is because they are using superchargers
