Broken BOV
 

hello everyone, i just bought an 87 supra turbo with a factory bov stem broken off and the hose that conects to it hanging off. I was wondering if im able to drive without the hose connected. if i am should i plug the hose that came from the bov or do i need a new bov?

I would just replace the BOV. It is there to protect the turbo from compressor surge...

I no that. I just dont have enough money to get an after market bov (Ganna get HKS SSQV) I just wanted 2 no if it will still will work without it? Will it just vent it into the atmosphere Its the small hose coming off the bov.

Well it is that small hose that makes the BOV work.. I am sure you can still drive the car but i would not "boost it" until you fix it.


I have an extra stock BPV if you want it. $10 shipped.. let me know..

im ganna cheak some junk yards but ill get back at you. if i cant find 1.

let me get this right, the bov is still ok, its the stem where the bov releives and conects to the accordeon hose trhough a hose is broken? or is the stem where the bov gets its pressure signal from the intake is broken?

it was the stem that was broken off but i found out that my whole BOV was broken
