Bov ???
 

i just got my BOV. and it look like UPS played soccer with my package. i was pressure testing it, just by using my mouth, and it leaks a little air. is the normal. or is it a bad BOV?

depends on the BOV. If you don't see any cracks or damaged areas of the BOV. I wouldn't worry about it right away. If there is a defect, the manufacturer should RA the item.

there are no cracks. just it leaks where the piston closes around the housing. it is realy small leaks. just though it should have no leaks or you would have a boost leak and lose boost???. i don't know muck about turbo cars??

first what kind of BOV is is, there are a few types ie: push,pull,push-pull,block.

if it has a vacuum nipple on it, then the piston is pressurized shut by boost, otherwise it will be able to bypass a tiny bit of air.

and i think the spool up on your mouth is a lot less powerful than your turbo!!

funny tho

not sure what kind it is. but it look like this. so i gues if i put it on and it leaks then i was right. but i think woth the vacume line on i shouldn't like you said

you should be fine,

looks like a turboXS,

ok thanx for the help. i was just wanting to know now because i may not be able to return it when it is put on. might be to long down the road. thanx again

doc what the hell are you up to now

turbo on the tundra :)
