Title: bov`s
Post by: mikeyh on December 02, 2006, 04:37:03 PM
ok been looking at you guys engine bay pics and noticed a few have put the bov`s where the original one used to be.

mines was/still is fitted onto the elbow on the inlet side is this correct or where should they go???

hopefully doent matter as ive had a welder fit a new bit of pipe onto my nice shiny new greddy elbow lo(yes it does still look nice)very good job he done too.

Doesn\'t matter the least.  Is personal preference, personally I got a bov with correct size flange, so just swapped out with oem one.

The woosh would be considerably louder if you remove and block off the stock one.  Aslo, I am interested to know where the suction pipe comes from to the blitz bov.

That one ^^

maybe suction pipe wasn\'t the right name for it.

That pipe originally went to the stock one, you will need 2 if you have 2 bov\'s.

I am sure that there is at least 1 capped off unused connecting point on the uim.  So it would make sense that one of these be used.
