Stock Blow Off Valve?
hey, I got a '87 RX7 turbo, and this could be a really stupid question, but still, does it have a stock blow off valve? And would buying an aftermarket one improve the life of the turbo or just make a cool noise? THanks!

not exactly. you can 'out boost' the blow off valve to a point that the blow off valve doesn't open enough causing too have some compressor surge.
our cars do have stock bypass-valves though, basically a blow off valve that reroutes the air it puts out back into the intake.
if you're bypass valve is defected and/or you just want a cool sound go ahead and buy a blow off valve.

How woudl you know if your bypass valve is defective. I don't think it is but I just bought this car like a month ago and I wanna keep the turbo on it going as long as possible.

your wrong......As you start making upgrades a bov can increase the life of a turbo. If you do not have a ball-bearing type turbo it will cause compression surge. A larger blow out valve can protect your engine and reduce spikes. Some blow out valves actually keep your hp power linear. This is based on the spring rate.

I was thinking about screwing around w/ my stock BOV today, open it up so I could hear it. I have never worked on a car before so I need a little advice. The car is basically stock except for the exhaust system. I would go all out now, but I dont have the funds, I figure this is a slight tweak that wont cost me any money. And considering Ivenever worked on a car I dont want to start big.

Making that cool sound
What you can do to get that pppssssssssss noise is to let the stock BOV vent into the open atmosphere, but you must add a one way "swing valve" to the end of the open air tube so you do not get vaccum leak. Also, PLUG THE RETURN HOLE IN THE MASS AIR!!!!
