Just a quick one do i realy need a BOV or can i continue to use the OEM recirculation valve?
Im fitting a 3071r tubo 256 cams De jetro 740 injectors, will haveing a recirculation valve restrict its performence?
I got a turbo smart vee port but with the ARC intake pipe dosent alowe much room for one
but the OEM unit pipes up realy nice and i dont care about makeing blow off noises

As you are in Australia,I would recommend upgrading the stock unit with a GFB Stealth FX BOV. It sits on the stock mount under the fuse box,uses all the standard plumbing and is fully adjustable.
You will get more reliability from it then the stock as you upgrade the performance.

Failing that you MUST modify the stock recirc valve otherwise it will leak for sure on higher boost!!

Craig put up a thread recently on how to do this ;)

if you are fitting a d-jetro then you can fit any aftermarket dump valve as long as it can hold the boost pressure - re-circing isn't essential anymore due to being map and not maf :)
