I agree with Chris. Two pages into a VTT vacuum relief valve produce release promo thread ... the intention is not to side tract the promo. But 37 posts into the thread, @Chris@VargasTurboTech asks the fundamental question. So shall we discuss it here and maybe create some clarity? Chris I would assume, if you can figure out the answer to your question, this would help you generate more sales? I know I'd like to understand as if improvements can be made to my PCV system I'd like to do so. I assume most people fall somewhere in between you and your question and me.So if you wish to argue about it, please start your own thread. Why is PCV operation so hard for people to wrap their head around?
I'll take a first crack at your question. If you look at post #9 on the VTT relief valve promo thread, I laid out what the fundamental questions from my perspective. Note my use of the word, fundamental. Note I also stated up front that I had no problem saying I'm ignorant or even not smart enough to get it. I have a thick skin, so not getting an answer to my four point question was cool; I was not surprised given I was watching others not even be able to get yes/no answers from one another on questions (I'm not say from you ... from the multiple people in the discussion) - that tells me, and I knew this immediately, that folks are not on the same page.
I suspect I, like others, are caught up in relative understandings of relative parts of a turbo PCV system.
- how a turbo motor PCV system works - fundamental attributes, desired controls, solution architectures.
- the BMW specific solution architecture.
- modified performance architectures. And the corresponding what/why/how's of these.
And it seems like I'm not alone in not getting it - there are disagreements and different explanations by people here that I know are more clueful than. I then infer there are a shit ton of people silent that have no freaking idea either. In the Facebook group, the conversation doesn't even get as deep as in the promo thread here ... but the confusion is equally obvious. So selfishly speaking, I'd love to see a comprehensive discussion on this topic. And I would hope that the result is that more people would get educated, build better functioning PCV systems for their modified cars, and buy the products from our vendors which support that quest.
I'm sure someone else can guide this conversation better than I can. That said - in my 3 questions above, maybe a few good articles on the web would give us fundamentals to answer #1? Likely, #2 & #3 are discussion.
Win win?
