Why would this guy run 2 BOV's on a single turbo'd engine?

It helps prevent compressor surge In high boost applications.

As in what, say 25-30+ lbs of boost?

I'm not sure how high exactly, but I would say probably 30psi+ would need more than one BOV

well with 30 psi i would imagine u need more than 1 bov, once the tb closes the boost has to go somewhere quick or its goin back into turbo..., with only one i guess 30 psi doesnt escape quick enough...

I've seen a lot of single supra's running two bov's. It's just to make sure all the air gets out on high boost applications.

Why a del sol? What a waste! Sure it's light and small, but it looks like ass! He needs to do something about his gearing! Hes going to by out of gearbox before he even reaches 1/8th mile! It's a bummer to have a car that has 634 whp but only does like 100 or 120!

haha he almost hit a dog and made a kid cry. Seems kinda dumb that the one is venting right onto the back of the other but maybe that's just me

One of our board members has two BOV's for a <20psi application. Mostly because he wanted a TIAL instead of the Type-S but didn't want his g/f to find out he switched. So he put the Tial on the lower IC pipe, and it worked quite well actually.

hehehehehe I know who that is...:P

otherwise, 2 BOV is unecessary.
