Default question on bov's

My friend is tryin to tell me that turbo cars dont have to use bov's... what i know is if u dont have one ur gonna blow your innercoolers lines right off cuz theres nowhere for the pressure to release..

no, youll just get compressor surge, which can be bad for the turbo.
But old school turbo cars didnt always come with BOV's (like my z31 300zx).

some use a "bybass valve" which is similar just quiet... i think

as jim said, its more bad for the turbo then just blowing off the lines
