BOV installed on my Ranger Raptor Pssshhhhh Pssshhhh

[DirtDerrick]

Installed a TurboSmart Blow off valve. Until I can get it turnt up, at least it will sound faster.

Very easy install, you'll need an inverted torx size E6 to remove factory, and to install new one. The TurboSmart does come with a couple other screw options.

Part number:
TS-0223-1082
BOV Kompact EM Dual
Port VR19

Any reason why you went with the dual port model vs the recirculating model?

I tried both on my Focus RS and noticed quite a big increase in turbo lag when shifting with the vent to atmosphere model. I’d think having paddle shift would make that turbo lag even more noticeable.

Does this affect the sustained boost features in the sportier drive modes?

What does this do?

My wife and daughter like to hear it.

What does this do?

It adds a louder "whoosh"-ing sound to the turbocharger spinning up. No performance gains

Aren't there also BOV's designed to use recirculation venting at lower boost pressures and vent to atmosphere Pssshhhh for high boost?
Would be interesting to see if it is affected by the baja drive mode that keeps the turbo spooled-up (anti-lag) after letting off the throttle.

I wouldnt think it would be affected at all by baja mode. The BOV does its job when the turbos stop spooling and release the back pressure. If the turbos keep spooling in baja mode, theres no back pressure when you let off the gas.

+1 to cool factor!

I've been reading about this a lot, sure tempted. My only hesitation came after watching a video where the guy mentioned they won't put an atmospheric BDV on a unit with a mass air flow sensor. His reasoning was that the ECM is tracking air in the system and adjusting fuel accordingly. If you don't recirc that air, the math is off and you will run rich here and there. Can't find anything stating issues over the life of the engine though.

Edit: are these trucks running an MAF or an MAP? An MAP would make more sense and I probably wouldn't worry..
