MPI turbo. Add/replace bov

[SBailey.GP]

I have a 2015 SR viper X-TX with the MPI 190 turbo kit with no intercooler. My question is can I replace/add the BOV on the kit with the one on evolution Powersports site (http://www.evopowersports.com/produ...alve-bov-for-snowmobile-and-utv-applications/) if so, how difficult is this to do? I'm mechanically inclined, just new to the turbo and 4 stroke world.

The kit already has a blow valve! Its attached to the turbo compressor housing

I thought that was a wastegate. Is there a difference between that and a bov?

 

[thamax]

The wastegate is on the turbine side of the turbo! (aka hot side) there is big shinny waste gate actuator mounted a few inches from the turbo thats attached to a rod that runs a round flapper valve inside the exhaust housing thats called a wastegate

Ok. So where is the BOV located? Sorry if I sound dumb, but this is all new to me.

Right below that black hose coming out of the turbo

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification.

Now. Can I change this BOV out for one that vents to atmosphere?

 

[alpineviper]

why would you want to change it? whats wrong with the one that came with the mpi kit?

 

[SBailey.GP]

From my understanding, you get better response from the turbo when the BOV vents to atmosphere.

It vents to the intake!
