All of those cars change gears in under half a second, probably more like under 100th of a second. There would be hardly any chance for compressor surge. Compressor surge is a different thing all together.   Not having one on a road car will damage your turbo significantly quicker over time than ha...

Yeah, there are arguments for and against them - that's just my opinion, im happy to hear others!  :)

I call manual misprint...

The only real reasons manufacturers run BOVs is for NVH issues.  Without it, the compressor flutter sound is very hard to shut up, even with the standard airbox etc.   With the bov, the air released is recirculated within the inlet tract and due to lower than atmospheric pressure within the inlet, t...

Ok... You are at full load, full boost, max turbo speed and you change gears and the throttle staps shut.  On a car equipped with a BOV, the inlet piping from the throttle back to the turbo will be evacuated of pressurised air leaving it all at ambient pressure.  When you open the throttle again you...

Ahh... Lifters are a different thing altogether - something that the T1 doesn't have.  Sorry, should have been more helpful!

I might have a set or two at home ready to go to the dump if you want them.  I'll have to check - they might have gone already.

My theory is that a BOV is detrimental to turbo response anyway.  You're better of without one.

Good luck, i think you'll have an extrodinarily hard time finding lifters for a T1!

I dont think the City would be in the top 5 by a long way!  :-[

Mini Cooper S - Definately number one
Renault Cilo Sport
Honda Civic Type R
Toyota Starlet GT

WTF are you doing here on your 21st!?  ???

Is that for my old T1?  I'd like to get in contact with it's current owner...

Got a pic of the manifold?

How was your flywheel lightened?

Would look nice with a set of 15in white 5spoke rims, lowered, ER turbo...
