Yeah, it's technically a diverter valve stock but BOV seems to be used as a blanket term. It's gets confusing when you add in the hybrid ones or do what some of the F-150 guys do and just remove the reticulation tube and run it as VTA. Then the stock diverter valve becomes a BOV?Do our stock systems have a BOV? I haven't bothered to look TBH but I don't hear one. I was under the impression that it is a diverter valve since it doesn't dump (VTA) but instead recycles the metered air back into the intake track. I've ran both in previous turbo vehicles but found that I would get stumbling/idle issues when just switching from a stock BPV to a true BOV w/o doing anything else, just a straight swap. So what I did is went with a hybrid model, like a Forge Motorsports one to still get some of that pssshht sound some folks like and not worry about it.
Things change so I may be off as this is my first T/C vehicle in a long time. My current F/I setups over the last decade have been supercharged.
