So I have a 01 Tacoma with the Trd sc running 6lbs of boost. I really like the idea of having a bov like my buddies Sti. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have seen it done with the scion tc but can not find any info for a Tacoma

 

seems like you should be able to add a blow off valve...
have you tried contacting URD?

 

Great idea I don't know why I did not think of that. Thanks!

 

You can't add a BOV to a roots supercharger and have it work. The supercharger will stop making boost instantly also when it does open the truck will die since you are screwing up the MAF sensor and you will have to drill into the supercharger itself to install it and it will not work there since it sees vacuum there.

Whole lot of problems for something that will do nothing but cause you problems. BOV's have ZERO performance aspects to them BTW, they only rob performance, they do not add it.

 

So is the supercharger the scions use differant? That all makes sence though. But wouldn't you only loose power if the bov was leaking?

 

Not sure what the scions are. Yes, power would only be lost when it opens, ut you do loose performance EVERYTIME it opens.

Either way, not gonna happen on a TRD roots supercharger. Better off with one of those Ebay BOV sound things that goes in the tailpipe if you must have that sound.

 

You may be able to instal a BOV on a Scion Tc blower because, correct me if I'm wrong, the TRD set-up for that car uses a centerfugal style S/C rather than a positive displacement style. Therefore since the compressor end is essentially the same as a turbo, folks can get away with using a BOV. I agree with TA though; attemting to put a BOV on a roots is pretty much pointless. No offense.

 

you are correct .. BOV's are for Turbos or positive displacement SC . will absolutly NOT work on ROOTS
