Hello! I was recently watching the Hp academy youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz-vekMoKdM&t=2333s and it was about if you should run a bov or not. In the video, an 8474 BW Efr turbo was used and different types of tests were done. I didn't hear it explicitly said if running just the block off plate on these efr turbos was ok for long-term use, however, it seemed like all of the testing seemed to point that it was and from what I can tell, it was implied it would be fine. I ask because I personally just ordered an 8374 (dual ball bearing) and again, from what I can gather from this video and testing done, I SHOULD be ok running just the block off plate and no bov like this video tests, correct? (Daily, spirited driving) Just wanted some extra clarification.
I don't care about shift speed recovery of turbo or anything like that, this car is just for pure joy at the moment.
It's going on an 99 fd with what I'm assuming is going to be around 1 bar of pressure, if that. Thank you for your help
