MoPar Blow off valve + srt-4?

Question

Does BOV for neon srt4 add more psi of boost or improve times at all? Or is it just for the awesome sound?

Answer 1

Just sound......No performance gain.. The Mopar part is just a plate with holes that releases boost pressure outside, or "to the atmosphere".. normally boost is recirculated back into the intake and so with this plate you can hear the blow-off more.

Answer 2

Forge SRT-4 Bolt On Blow Off Valve
This blow off valve vents to the atmosphere and provides nice sounding whoosh in between shifts.
Dodge Turbo Neon SRT-4 03+
Its just for the sound

Answer 3

A blow off valve replaces the stock air-bypass valve. The problem with bov's is that it does not recirculate the air back into the the intake system like abv's, this results in a breif moment where the engine runs very rich. This can actually hurt performance and increases exhaust gas temperatures. If your serious about performance and dont want to look like a fast and furious freak, forget the bov.

Answer 4

Neither. It's there to prevent compressor surge, which occurs when the throttle is closed while the turbo is still producing boost. The sudden increase in pressure can damage the throttle body, and a blowoff valve vents this excess pressure to the atmosphere, producing and audible hiss. It provides no real performance enhancement, it is a safety device to prevent damage from occuring to the TB.

Answer 5

BOV's release the pressure build up from superchargers or turbos on decelleration so your engine won't explode from excess boost pressures in your engine and allows your engine/turbo etc to "Spool Down" to the boost limits preset at the factory to maintain reliability of the drivetrain
