Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) why no blow-off valves?

[DCreed]

my question is if turbo surge kills turbos and a blow-off valve fixes this why arent they offered for our trucks/turbos?? are they?

BD sells a blow off valve for the Cummins. It really for the manual guys to help when shifting. It actually works pretty well.



Not all turbo surge can be corrected with a blow off valve. The kind that happens when you lift to quickly can, but the kind that happens under a steady throttle condition can't.

There has been a few threads in the past on this issue. Try searching for BD's product. You might find some interesting info.
