Blow off valve

[matej1243]

Hello everyone!

If some of you remember me, my car is an Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD. You guys suggested that I do a remap which I did and I'm blown away by the results. Speaking of things being blown, I want to buy a blow off valve. Nothing special, I just want it for the aestethics. I want that "pshhh" sound when I go through the gears. A guy that I know has an electric blow off valve which can be operated by a switch of a button. So his car can be silent while changing gears or be all like "pshh". I want that, but I don't know which one do I need, where do I buy it and similar stuff. I live in Croatia, so I need a site that supports world-wide shipping. Price is not a problem, but of course, I'd save some money if I can.

Thank you in advance for all the responses and I am looking forward to the next ones!

Regards,
Matej

Shhhhhh BOvs on a diesel is a bit of a taboo subject on here I think the fact that no specialist tuning companies manufacture or advertise a BOV for a diesel you will end up having to find a generic one from the Chav shops like Halfrauds or Naff Body Kits R Us
I know what you mean about the sound, my GTR had a twin HKS SSQV setup and sounded epic through tunnels and narrow high streets but diesels just don't need them and sounded false when fitted. If it was me I would be spending money on the exhaust system and intake which will give it a beefier sound, which actually I am doing at the moment on my Golf

Andy what exactly is a chav

 

[Aerial Andy944]

In car terms someone who may do this to his car so basically has more money then taste. Kind of person who thinks a cherry bomb back box exhaust will give them a gazillion more horsepower and all that bodykit will help the car corner like it's on rails at 25mph. Show off basically

Chav = Ricer ?

I understand that it's "taboo", but I want to do it anyways. Any recommendations?

Chav = Ricer ?

Not necessarily. Some ricers know what they are doing. A chav car will, generally, have no power but extremely stretched tyres with huge amounts of negative camber. It will also have a huge body kit. They tend to frequent shopping centre car parks so they can show off their mega sound systems to like minded chavs.

Well, you could start here:

Turbosmart is an Aussie company

Diesels do not have a throttle, so no air is forced back to the turbo when letting off the gas. To fit a BOV to a derv, you'll need a switch wired to the accelerator and BOV, the BOV fitted before the turbo. If you want the BOV noise, fit an open cone filter the the turbo.

Yank?

Yank = American/USA

It was a name we called them when they were over here when I was a youngster.

It's what we call them in the UK as well. We call large American cars Yank Tanks.
