Whats a BOV (blow off valve)?

hi i want to now what a BOV (blow off valve) i no what it does but i dont no the instalation process what pipes and stuff are invalved and were does it go next to the turbo of air intake

Answer:

its a pressure release valve it release the air when you let off the gas there two type the VTA which releases the back in the atmosphere you know this when you hear turbocharged cars let off this gas and you hear the hissing sound. and the other is a recirculating valve which sends the air directly into the air intake there a hissing sound but its not as loud
Most are designed to install on the intake/turbo piping. They're for the release of pressure surges to keep the turbo safe. Most stock bovs are not capable of raised boost which is why many buy aftermarket ones.
