EdgeTT Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Its tough tracking down info on the new twin turbo edge. Anyone know where the BOV(S) are located on the 2.7 ? Also what kind of mods are becoming popular for these new ecoboosts? Pardon my naivity. I just came from the v8 mustang world and kind of jumped in head first into this ecoboost scene. Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Other EBs: custom tune, downpipes, intake/exhaust systems, "bigger" turbos, methanol injection. Going all out? Upgraded engine components (rods/pistons/head studs/etc) are available. No drivetrain mods really, other than shortened (full synthetic) fluid change intervals to maximize performance and life.

GT500R Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hello, one thing that you will notice is that these cars (and similar turbocharged cars) do not have "bovs" but diverted valves as they take the pressure and do not release into the atmosphere but back into the intake tract. But to answer your question if I am not mistaken the GT15 turbos in this car should have the diverted valves into the turbo just as many other stock cars do. Check out this link - http://www.honestcharley.com/blog/from-the-restoration-shop/road-tour-9/ Second pic down look at the right side of the turbo with the hose coming out of the black diaphragm and that should be the diverted valve. What engine do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 We do have a thread where the "BOV" valve was replaced with an aftermarket BOV unit. Might be the same for the 2.7 also. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18490-2013-edge-ecoboost-bov/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTTO Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 BOV is internal, back into the exhaust. It can be modified but you'll never get the signature pppssst sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbosmart has a 50/50 BOV that will give you the signiture "pssst". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you meant Diverter Valve. Most stock turbo applications use a diverter valve. OP is simply asking for the location so that he can swap it out for a larger atmospheric blow off valve. You can definitely get the signature psssht.. sound, it will just require some additional mods, aside from swapping out the diverter valve with a blow off valve.

This is obviously a pretty old thread but I'm curious because I recently installed a turbosmart dual port on my 2015 sport and i would say it is even more quiet than the stock one.

MSCOSC Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 You basically just remove the recirculating house and plug the intake with a 1" chair foot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off thanks for the photos. But I was wondering are you supposed to plug both sides? My thinking is if you plug the intake and not the BOV side then the air is going to completely bypass the BOV and take the path of least resistance straight out the hole.

MSCOSC Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 That's the point. Instead of the air being recirculating back through the intake(no sound) it comes straight out the pipe into the atmosphere. Other blow off valve adapters accomplish this same thing by stacking up the valve. To my understanding, this accomplishes the same exact thing. The valve stays closed all the time unless you're in boost and let off the gas pedal. Even though you see that 1" port wide open on the blow off valve side, the valve is closed within.
