Is a blow-off valve spacer a gimmick or does it add performance?
Does it let everyone know you have a turbo... yes... but it's likely they didn't care in the first place.
I wanted to see if this spacer was gonna be the most annoying thing ever or simply just be one of those things I install and forget about.
You'll have to watch the video to really see how I feel about it.
I walk you through the installation process, point out things to look for and then we head out on a test drive to really find out if this thing does what it claims. I was skeptical at first but now that I have thousands of miles with this blow-off valve spacer I felt it was time to share my honest impressions with all of you.
We bought the blue spacer from @BoombaRacing

Cool sound! Nice presentation. Thanks.
Hello! Great video we always appreciate seeing our parts featured and discussed, one thing to note, the oil you're seeing at the blow off valve adaptor is actually blow-by that is running through your PCV system due to factory inefficiencies. We'd recommend an oil catch can to help catch blow-by and reduce carbon build-up in your intake manifold. Thanks for your support!
I have a video planned to test this theory. These l3b motors are supposed to have a coalescing drain back style system.
@@BadlandIndustries For anyone that is wondering: Blow-by is definitely super common now among most modern turbo direct-injection engines. The reason there is oil coming out of the adaptor is because there is a lot of blow-by going through the turbo, charge pipe and PCV system that the system is not properly containing within the engine, the blow-by tends to escape via the vent in the BOVA.
@BoombaRacing Do you guys have a catch can that we can test and review?
@@BadlandIndustries We are actually considering creating a vehicle specific kit soon for the Canyon/Colorado and will 100% keep you posted when they are developed! We'd be happy to discuss getting one out to you when they are out!
@BoombaRacing I am working on a video topic about the PCV and would love to collaborate with you
Im hooked, Im hooked I subscribed
It's worth the smiles. Take it off when the smiles wear off
Definitely seems fun I’m getting one now 😂 thanks man
I am actually working with a supplier to bring you guys some that are a little cheaper.
Sounds good, I love the sound and don’t have a turbo or a manual so to be able to put this on an automatic gets me excited to put one on my car
It's silly but I like it lol
The sound is definitely cool ! No one can dispute that .....
I am the kinda woman that does all my own work, I bought my truck a week ago and immediately started ordering mods. Keep posting!! I love and need! these hands on how to videos It helps me when I’m doing the mods
I did a lot of mods to my 2016 Colorado and blowback from the intake with oil residue is a thing. I hope you come out with a blowback catch video soon. Definitely a must install.
Congrats on the new truck!
I'm kind of surprised no one has made a catch can setup for this truck. The oil in the intake issue was/is an issue on Mavericks and a catch can was brought to market extremely quick.
I'll be getting one of these though for sure, definitely a gimmick but fun enough.
If you start going down the rabbit hole you'll find gm incorporated a baffled pcv system on the side of the motor. I do intend to do some testing of my own.
I subbed 😂in the 1st 30 seconds
Appreciate it buddy
Egr block off plate? Works for my e46 m3 track car
30 mins is good for it to be considered a 2 beer install
I think the preceeding amount of beers would dictate the amount of beers it would take to install. Lol
@@BadlandIndustrieswhat are ur thoughts on a catch can ? my truck has the same engine with turbo and im thinking of putting one on
Did this ever cause you to get a P1101 code? Happened to me a couple times during some long highway driving but unsure of a direct correlation with BOV as I'm also running a Pedal Monster and recently had put in a new K&N engine air filter. Had it looked at by local shop who couldn't replicate or determine source. Cleared the code and it hasn't come back in at least a week but haven't been on the highways much. 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X. Appreciate your videos, not enough Canyon mod folks so please keep it up!
Never got a code once. I'm at 13k miles now.
Sometimes the oil from the k&n filter can get on the sensors and throw a code.
@murfyslaw8889 this is factory paper filter.
Love the sound, but not worth any possible issues after seeing the oil blowoff issue. Great video though
I'm still looking into that oil issue but so far I don't have anything wrong with the truck.
That oil issue thank goodness isn't affecting 95% of the owners, very limited.
So I want to do this bad! And I just got a 24 Canyon..with extended warranty. I'm not a car guy whatsoever..but you make it seem rather easy..enough that I am about to try it. Anyone know if doing something like this would void warranty??
They would have to determine that this caused an issue. I've had this on the church for several thousand miles with no issue.
that oil is from your pcv? Seems like a lot of blow by. Maybe a catch can would help?
So that the conundrum we're dealing with. The 2.7l has a built in baffle system that's supposed to mitigate that. I'm planning on doing some testing.
Hi I put a blow off valve on my silverado a few weeks ago. And it have kick on my check engine like about 5 times. Has this happened to you?
Not a single code. What code was yours?
I think it's kinda gimicky, but if you enjoy it then that's all that matters. Not something I've got to worry about on my '06 Canyon lol.
It is for sure.
Did you ever figure out where the oil leak is from? Is it from the blow off valve replacement?
I am assuming it was just a product of breaking in. I don't have any evidence of in continuing now at 15k miles.
Where you buy it ?
It comes for sierra 3.0?
I bought this one from boomba racing
Why wouldn't you want that air to be pushed back into the intake? Isn't intake boost better than just releasing that pressurized air outside?
It only blows off when you're off the accelerator and shifting gears typically so you don't want full boost when that's happening anyway
What about a catch can for a mod?
You should check out my recent shorts. I just did a test to see whether if not it needs one.
Way more professional than my video 😂 also I did notice a bunch of oil residue in my intake when I install mine a bit nerve wracking lol
Check your bov in a few thousand mile and see if you had oil in there too.
@@BadlandIndustries I bet I do :/
Has anyone found an oil catch can for these inline 4 cylinder engines?
@Roberto-gp3yx I did a test recently. Check my shorts for the two videos.
Lastly, if you got the extended warranty for your truck I suggest to take off the blow off valve adapter prior to taking it in for any suspected warranty issues as the warranty company & or even the dealership, from which the truck was purchased, will deny warranty due to aftermarket installs
My 2.7 Sierra had the engine replaced at 92k+ miles and the warranty company sent out a third party inspector to verify that there was no aftermarket installs before approving the warranty labor and parts
Any horse power gain?
No only sound. Just vents the the blow off valve to the atmosphere instead of back into the intake.
Oil splatter? O wouldn't touch blow off valve with 10' pole
Hasn't done it since so I wonder if it was just oil sitting in there from assembly or breaking in the motor
I JUST brought home a 24 ZR2 TODAY! .. think this is cool but will look for a cheaper unit (its simply a cnc spacer) .. casual COOL on these trucks, but RICERS are annoying douchebags .. lol
you can find them cheaper. i simply wanted the blue and bought this long before my truck arrived.
the 2.7 burns oil + this? Nope.
Does the 2.7 burn oil or does it get sucked out via the crankcase vent? I'm working on testing that.
It gets sucked out through the case vent
They void ur warranty
Better not install one on your truck.
Someone needs to create & Sell a (It Will Void Your Warranty) back window sticker to those who always worry about others!
If I wanted a rice burner, I would have bought one. Instead I bought a truck for it being a truck and doing truck stuff. So, I think its a useless, gimicky mod and waste of money.
I would posit a tiny 2.7l 4cyl motor in a truck is a far cry from what you would expect in a "truck". Like I said in the video. Gimmicky, absolutely.
Do you have a gen 3 Colorado or Canyon?
Will it void the factory warranty?
I can't see how.
