Does my 850 turbo have a blow off valve? 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Swab on  Fri Jun 20 15:10 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I owned a eagle talon before my current Volvo 850. And my talon had a turbo and it also had a BOV (blow off valve) This valve was attatched to the intercooler pipe. What is did was when my turbo spooled up and created boost then i would quickly take my foot off the gas and the throttle plate would shut and all of a sudden all that boost had no where to go, so the BOV would open and shoot all the boosted air into the intake side of the turbo. making the oh so familer "woosh" sound. Now i figured all turbo cars had a bov.. but i looked everywhere and i can't find one on my 850. is it hidden? :) or do 850 turbos just not have one? anyone?
