that's a good way to stuff your turbo, do you know what a BOV acctually does, and please don't say just makes a noise.

car looks good though

the whole "not having a bov harms your turbo" is a load of sh*t....

for instance, wheres the bov on your isuzu? or any other heavy truck, for that matter(apart from old volvos and scanias)

If they didn't need them they wouldn't be there in the first place. they are there so when you let your foot of the go pedal and the butterfly closes the air will try to escape as it is still being compressed by the turbo because it is still spining, and there are only 2 ways out, back through the turbo or through a BOV. what do you think is going to happen to the compressor wheel on your turbo if everytime the butterfly closes it has air trying to escape back through it while it is still trying to compress the air in there because the gasses from the engine are still turning the compressor wheel. so basicly you have each side of the turbo fighting each other as they are both trying to slow donwn at differnt rates. Not to mention all the undue strain on the whole intake system as you have air traveling 2 different directions. It also creates lag as the turbo will slow down more than it normally would have if you had a BOV.

Diesels don't make vacuum, because there's no butterfly in the throttlebody that closes when you let off the go pedal. Therefore, there's no need for a BOV because all the charged air just ends up being used. and you actually can get a BOV for trucks that hook into the ECU are activated by throttle position.
