Post by: *Bowsy* on September 24, 2005, 10:39:25 PM
I have bought one of these 2 days ago but i\'m wondering who else has got one and have they got anypics of it under the bonnet.

I\'m not 100% where to put it as i don\'t think it will fit wer my old blitz Bov was as its way bigger

That\'s going to be loud as hell.  

Could you extend the current pipework from where the blitz is mounted and put it somewhere by the brake servo?

I have seen these mounted two ways on FD\'s,  one was on the air horn that comes off the throttle assembly\'s, and the other was off the inlet "Y" pipe where it joins the Turbo\'s.

Your adaptor kit should arrive with you today and when you see the bore of the pipe supplied the above will become apparent.

got it fitted today,its nott 100% secure but it will do for now untill i make a bracket :D
Thing is i don\'t think its as loud as i thought it would be,its only slightly louder than my blitz one :(

Also i noticed that when it dumps the air it only lifts the valve about 1 quarter of the way up.i\'ve put the spring tension so its soft but it still don\'t do much.

I think this BoV is suited more for higher spec cars running more boost,i don\'t know much about this stuff so correct me if i\'m wrong :p

i would think your correct, a twin outlet like that would be better suited to a car producing a lot of boost, especially if you are just looking for that very loud PSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT noise :)

i have an HKS one on mine, fitted next to the brake servo, and its plenty loud enough

I think i\'ll leave it on the car as i will be upping the boost once i get mi rebuild done :>.
As for now i\'ll just leave it set on the lightest spring setting as ther ain\'t any probs with it.maybe if i put a smaller diameter hosing instead of the one i\'ve got,might make it better suited for mi FD :chat
