What are the symptoms of a bad blow off valve?

In this case, when a blow-off discharges to the atmosphere, the ECU isn’t able to properly fuel the engine resulting in rich AFRs, hesitation, bad idle and even stalling. In these systems the excess pressure must be plumbed back into the turbo system before the compressor inlet, which is what a bypass valve does.

Why is my blow off valve not working?

Firstly, check that the BOV is closed at idle. If the BOV is not closed at idle. Theres a good chance that the spring tension may need to be increased or the BOV might need a heavy-duty spring. Next, check the vacuum hose for splits, cracks, loose connection, kinking or any obstruction.

Can you use a blow off valve without a turbo?

You can’t put a blow off valve on a naturally aspirated car because induction (the sucking of air into the engine) is done using vacuum. The engine itself sucks air in, instead of the turbine pushing compressed air in. So that’s what blow off valves are for, and that is why you only put them on turbocharged cars.
