Bypass valve ?

[SonicMan]

I want to know where the bypass valve is in my 2012 sonic, and does anyone have a picture of one ?

Is it a Turbo?

 

[SonicMan]

Yes, do you think I'd be asking where it is on a 1.8 non turbo ??

You do seem like the type.

 

[SonicMan]

That's funny you say that since your the retard asking if it was a turbo lmao well let me see DUH !!!

 

[SonicMan]

If I asked where's the turbo or where's the Intercooler you would have chimed in like " uhh well let me see George are you talking about da turbo model uhh "

Is this necessary? Laborsmith already answered your question.

I should have realized your technical savvy when you asked where the bypass valve was.

Wow, that's a compact little unit. With the header cast into the exhaust side, it makes upgrades more expensive/difficult. I can see why DDM wanted one for experimentation.

The bypass value looks like a standard pull setup. The diaphragm actuator isn't rebuild-able. It would have to be replaced. Is that what you're planning SonicMan?

I planning on making an HKS SSQV fit.

these turbos are identical to bmw turbos. dimention-wise they are different. but i brought my car into the shop where i work (a bmw shop) and i was looking into it. the wastegate and actuator, hoses are almost identical. and from the pictures, the wastegate, turbines for intake and exhaust...are almost identical. i havent taken measurements of the bmw but it LOOKS the same.

any way, i'll have to do some digging next time i get a bmw turbo problem. i know that the bmw wont fit ont he chevy but...still. technologies are the same then enhancements are the same. and the bmw aftermarket is really strong.

bimmer power!!!! I thought BMW turbos were made by KKK? could be wrong and its been awhile since i worked in a BMW shop so things coulda changed or I'm thinking of their older engines

Borg Warner is KKK now, they were bought out about 10 years ago.

I'm going to try, I've heard a few guys say it will run like sh** if you put a bov in but I wanna see for myself

 

[Eric Smit]

I have an HKS SSQV4 on the way. I'll detail the install.

It won't run like **** if you're tuned correctly for it.

Does trifecta have the ability to tune the sonic for a bov ?

 

[sonic hotness]
