Toyota turbo kits- Blow off valves

Picture
A blow off valve is a pressure release system present in turbocharged engines. Its purpose is to prevent compressor surge, and reduce wear on the turbocharger and engine.

A blow-off valve is mounted in the intake plumbing between the turbocharger compressor and the throttle plate. The blow-off valve is a second safety measure against the turbocharger over-boosting and damaging the engine. The blow-off valve is more commonly used to keep the turbocharger spinning when the throttle plate is suddenly closed. 

 

Like the other aftermarket parts BOV’s come in many sizes and shapes and all BOV’s have a unique pressure release sound. Brands stocked include HKS , Greddy, Blitz, Turbosmart.
