S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Can someone identify this BOV? :)

Default Can someone identify this BOV? :)

Hey as the title states, was curious which BOV this is cause it sounds absolutely amazing amongst all the other beautiful sounds coming from this 2jZ s2000

^well, if ya have the power to control a variable, then why not choose? but to each its own. That BOV does sound sick though.

yea sounds like the compressor wheel surging. Most huge turbos will surge a little bit even with a bov.

what you are hearing is compressor surge. I didnt hear any BOV. Im sure there is one but as andy said with a real big turbo like that you often get surge.

hmm I've heard compressor surge before but its so loud on that car i figured it was a bov...i remember compressor surge sounding like a skipping kinda noise or rattle snake type deal. (hard to explain) I know when he lets off the throttle you hear the compressor surge but i swear theres a pshhh noise in there too....
