Blow Off Valve
#11
got it from bd. If you do want one make sure your intercooler pipe going into the intake manifold is metal. The 06's are plastic so I had to get one of them from BD also. I thought it would be a bit easier to install but there is a bit of wireing to do since it is activated by the position of the pedal and how much voltage at what position it is at. A bit more complicated than I thought.

This BOV is setup just to relieve pressure upon lifting of the pedal. It helps to minimize the surge conditions present when drive pressure drops.
The BOV is a 50mm TiAL

Sorry, wasn't trying to be vague. It has a boost signal plumbes to the top of the valve with a small electric spool valve in between the boost source and the BOV diaphragm.
When the pedal is closed (depressed) the spool valve allows boost to the top of the BOV to hold it closed. When the pedal is released the spool valve opens and alows the top of theBOV diaphragm to vent to atmosphere. If boost is higher than the seat pressure of the spring in the top of the BOV then the plunger in the BOV will open and vent boost to atmosphere.

can you explain the valving you used? i've been thinking of using the electric solonoids that came stock on RX7's to control something like that using a 5 pin relay. opening one valve when i leave idle to allow boost to see the bov and closing the other that would be vented to atmosphere at the same time.... then when i go back to idle position it'll close the boost line and open the vent to atmosphere to allow the bov to work.... all this being controlled my a microswitch..... i can draw it all out but it'll take me a sec or two.... can you follow my logic?
