the majority of the factory BOV is plastic. Aluminum>plastic . They start to crack when the trucks get used in extreme conditions. They also start to crack when you throw more than 22PSI at them on a regular basis.
I switched to the turbosmart (first version) and haven't had an issue since. I removed the housing and plugged the factory BOV back in to the hardness to avoid any DTCs ( it is small and if someone in a stock truck has a faulty one, I can switch it out and just plug their broken one into my truck. ( doesn't do anything functional except complete the electrical circuit on my truck)
Ah. I’m still doing research on this truck. I’m only running 18 lbs but I would love to have that sound coming from the engine. I was a complete Ricer way back when. Does this truck need a tune when changing the BOV and would you recommend the one you have again or would you pick a different one?
