Re: What should i run BOV's
It sounds like you might be a little confused on your information. Those two parts don't interact like your asking.
To try and answer your questions,
If your running a external wastegate on the crossover, then leave it as most will agree it's a better setup then the factory wastegate.
As for a blow off valve, it's hit and miss. Half the group will tell you yes to get one, the other half say you don't need it. Our trucks are automatics so the T/B does open and close alot less often then a manuel vehical where it does after every shift. There's is the agruement that a BOV will increase the life of your turbo a little more, but some people have trouble with them leaking. To each his own, I don't have one and have no intention of running one.

Re: What should i run BOV's
He called me a while ago and I was driving so I think I might have heard him wrong. He said a BOV..I was thinking he does not need it. Then he said on the x-over pipe...again I was thing BOV?? dont know why just trying to do 3 things at once. I am not sure on running a wasegate on the x-over...good or bad. I think B.K. know more on this. He said the mount is there but he need the wategate. His truck has a basic RPM build with vortecs and a stock turbo. From taling to him I dont think it is going to be a race truck but more of a show truck that he will race.

Hey Gary, here is a thread from a while ago that had some good info on putting externals on your crossover.

If it's just a show truck and is running fine I would just say leave it alone, if it ain't broke......
