i recirculated my bov. i used parts from the alltrac and mr2 intakes to make something that would work in my car. its a little long, and takes a bunch of bends, but it works very well.

the benefits of recirculating the bov are HUGE! i really love it.

pros:
faster spool up
no more back fireing
smoother power
1st gear feels totally awesome.
great throttle response

cons:
no cool bov sound.


highly recomended for anyone with a bov on a swap. its one of those things were you dont know what youve been missing untill you try it.

Recirculating the blow off causes a temporary positive pressure on the intake side of the compressor turbine, allowing it to remain at RPM and lessening the acceleration time need once comes it under power from the exhaust again.

Unless you have the air directed at the intake you will see some but not a full efficient result.

The purpose of the blow off is to drop the intake side pressure peak that can cause the turbine wheels to spin backwards as the air is forced back out the compressor side of the turbo. This can cause the turbine wheel to become loose and cause major failure.

A necessary evil.
