i have just bought this group-N BOV
 

 
can anyone point me in the direction of a fitting kit. the BOV has a re-circ pipe, but can this just be left to fresh air? if so, do i need to do anything to my current re-circ pipwork.
 
I\'m very sketchy on BOV\'s... So if someone has an illustrated guide anywhere, i\'d appreciate that too :)
 
thanks

at current i still have my stock airbox, and havent yet purchased an induction kit.. i\'m guessing this complicates things!

Swap out the old recirc valve for your new one.  You can either do a straight swap to keep the recirculating function, or leave the exit side of the bov to vent to atmosphere, and blank off the return pipe to the airbox.

There are 2 stock valves.  1 for the 1st tub and 1 for the 2nd.

JohnP

do i have to replace both?

strange_days_uk

No.

If you want to hear the noise "woosh", then most people replace the one for the first tub.  This way you will hear the noise whenever coming off throttle at medium to low revs, so generally about town..

and if so, what diameter is the stock pipe without me removing it to find out..
 
i really appreciate your help. give me a straight 4 with a single turbo and i\'m fine! i\'ve owned the rotary now for a whole... 3 days

JohnP

or even just a diameter adapter for the pipe if i close the return pipe?

strange_days_uk

The pipe is 19mm diameter.  If your bov is the same then no probs.

If not you would need a T-piece of the correct size, but looking at the pic of yours I think it will bolt straight in.

JohnP

its 25mm.. typical! :)
 
so am i right in thinking :::

Yes, and block off the air filter so it isn\'t sucking air through the hole you leave.
