hodge Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi Could do with a little advice on this please. Does the length of vac line on a bov effect it's performance, Can I "T" 2 x 50mm bovs into the same vac reference. Thanks John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It will slightly, basically if you double the volume in the vacuum line, you double the time it takes to activate. Since they take next to no time to activate though I don't think it would be much to worry about to be honest. It won't affect it's operation though, if that's what you are asking. It will still work just as well and just as effectively, there will just be a very slight delay in it operating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cheers Scott. That's what I thought. Basically I've got a BOV either side of the Intercooler and instead of running 2 separate lines to the plenum chamber I wanted to "T" them together to remove 1 of the lines through the engine bay.

Terminator Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why would you want to run one after the FMIC, surely that is a waste of a cold charge from the FMIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why would you want to run one after the FMIC, surely that is a waste of a cold charge from the FMIC? I always thought it was best to run it as close to the intake as possible when running aftermarket. That way you drop the pressure at the source. It's not as if the charge suddenly bypasses the intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I was under that impression too Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
