word thats whats up!! thanks fellas
what's your power goal? when did volvos come with hybrids (what year and model is the volvo)?Would you guys NOT recommend a T3/T4 used turbo off a Volvo in a junkyard?With minimal shaft play?
do you even know what youre talking about? because a turbo is internally wastegated doesnt mean anything about a blow off valve. anytime you put a turbo on a car it is highly suggested that you put a blow off valve in so that your turbo doesnt get surges from the air when you close the throttle.no need for a BOV on a T25, i don't care what you're boosting, and that will definately shave the price. it's internally gated, so packaging is smaller.
i apologize, i should have seperated those two statements. i was saying that there's no need for a BOV because THERE IS NO NEED FOR A BOV. NONE. modern ball bearing turbos can take the stress of compressor surge. hell, modern JOURNAL bearing turbos can take the stress of compressor surge (the stress really is that minimal. yes, it's axial stress, but that's why there's bearings!). the only reason to fit a BOV or BPV is if you don't want to hear the flutter caused by compressor surge. that's it.do you even know what youre talking about? because a turbo is internally wastegated doesnt mean anything about a blow off valve. anytime you put a turbo on a car it is highly suggested that you put a blow off valve in so that your turbo doesnt get surges from the air when you close the throttle.
so if its not needed, why are everyone using them? why do stock turboed cars come with them? if theyre not needed, im sure car manufacturers wouldnt put them on because it would lower the price to make a reliable turbo car. ball bearings are not there to take the stress of compressor surge, theyre there to decrease turbo lag.i apologize, i should have seperated those two statements. i was saying that there's no need for a BOV because THERE IS NO NEED FOR A BOV.

not necessarily. wastegates dont always get in the way of the air compressor, the turbo and/or exhaust manifold does. wastegates can be vented off to either side or even in front of the turbo. only thing internally wastegated turbos are good for is price. its cheaper because you dont have to buy an external wastegate which can be pricey. internally wastegated turbos spool slower than externally wastegated because the actuator in an internally wastegated turbo starts to open several pounds before its target boost level. where as externally wastegated turbos wastegates dont open till the desired boost level. so ideally, if he wants to keep his ac but also get the best setup he could, he should look into exhaust manifolds that allow him to keep his ac and go with an external wastegate setup. is that the cheapest route, no. but keeping the ac and going turbo isnt normally cheap.the internally gated comment was because he was wanting to keep his A/C. having the turbo internally gated makes for easier packaging.
hf manifold will not allow him to keep his ac.you can use an hf manifold with an adapter plate tho, on the cheap.
