Turbo = BOV
if you put a turbo on a car, put on a BOV, thems the rules
you don't get gains from a BOV, you get to keep your motor longer
A blowoff 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. Blow off valves (BOV) relieve the damaging effects of compressor "surge loading" by allowing the compressed air to vent to atmosphere.
