Aftermarket blow off valve?

[Crusifix]

I should restate my comment. I put everything back together, ie, back to stock.

No. It came on about 10 miles after removing the hose. I put everything back together, cleared the code, and have since put another 100 miles on it with no CEL. I wasn't in a place where I could easily take it to have the code read unfortunately.

Good to know, thanks. So is it safe to say you won't be attempting this mod again? We need more guinea pigs haha

Yeah, I am over it.. LOL. I was never going to leave it modified like that, but I thought I would help with the research factor.

I still really wanna see video!! Someone else do it ASAP!! Lol

Also of note. I was pulling an empty trailer when this happened. So there could have been something that the added load triggered.

Wondering if an aftermarket blow off valve is going to be available for the JL 2.0? Love that bov whoosh sound

Any luck finding a blowoff valve? There’s not much info on the turbo it’s self. This was all I could find:

Just an FYI. The code I pulled is a permanent code relating to Turbo/Vent valve error. This code is stored and cannot be deleted as far as I can tell. It might disappear on it's own one day, but who knows. Just an FYI for those doing this, as it could effect your warranty.
I also have been getting the damned Evap fault code as well, but thanks to a member on here I think I know how to fix that, being that the most likely culprit is the Evap monitoring harness not being securely plugged in.

Please lord, prevent these people from putting a BOV on a Jeep Wrangler.

I pray lord.

Amen.

Sorry, but once enough R&D is done and one gets released I'm slapping that bad boy on my Jeep

If it floats your boat.

Just fully expect every single offroading soul to laugh at you.

I good BOV can increase the life of a turbo if the response time of the OE system is not quick enough in certain situations. Personally I would rather have a better recirculated diverter valve like I had on my EvoX made by Synapse.

You already have a BPV on the stock 2.0L. The mod listed earlier is to turn it into a BOV by venting it to atmosphere. As it's measured air it's not ok to vent it to atmosphere and it's what caused your ECU to throw the error code. That air you are "blowing off" has been measured by the mass airflow sensor (Hotwire sensor) and expected to be combusted in the engine.

A BOV has zero benefit performance wise except the boy racers like it as it makes noise.

I understand how the system works. The air is bypassed or vented before metering of any type is done. I don't believe that the 2.0 has a mass air sensor. A MAP sensor, yes, but not a MAF sensor.

If you know how any bypass or BOV works, response time and flow CFM's can be very beneficial to turbo performance. The quicker. I'm not saying that it adds power, but I am talking about how the turbo works. You don't wan't any back feed or back pressure slamming back against the impeller when the throttle closes, so, you have a valve that lets excess air bleed from the system. The better the valve, the more efficient this works. And the healthier and longer the turbo will last. Especially once you start reaching the maximum boost threshold.

Good point. And why is everyone so but hurt about some of us wanting the blow off valve noise? Like who cares??? You have your preference we have ours. Some of us like it. To each their own. I can’t wait till one gets released. Someone please post on this thread when it does.
Thanks.
