Blow Off Valve
 

Has enyone ever heard a blow off valve on a diesel truck? I figured if a car's turbo making 10psi sounded cool then a truck at 40psi would sound even better. Atleast give the ricers something to admire. I just got mine in and noticed there is a little more wireing involved that I would have thought but will try to get it all hooked up soon.

where did you get yours and what brand is it? i've been looking for one as i have a huge turbo bark problem and i know that would eliminate it....

couldnt one use somthing like whats on a semi air tank, only set for 45-50psi?

aftermarket units, my truck discharges loud enough as it is when i let off it.....

logan those are for gassers..... not for diesels..... those use a vaccum reference to open the valve. when the throttle blade closes it creates vaccume and opens the valve..... diesel's never create vaccume. even if you plumbed a valve into the vaccum pump you'd still have to have a boost pressure line ran to it to keep the BOV closed under boost...... it's perty complicated to get one of those to work on a diesel..... i'm prolly gonna do it but it's gonna take a crap ton of solonoids and relays and different hobbs switches to get right.....

bd makes one its called the turbo gaurd, thats made for diesels

true, it was late and i was tired and i didnt think anything about it being referenced to vaccum......
