Default Blow Off Valve

I wanted to know a little bit more about putting on a aftermarket BOV. I was looking at the Forge Motorsport one and i was just wondering if anyone has put this on there car before or anything like that. I was wondering if it is a direct bult on kit or if you have to make an mods. to make it work propely.

You know you're paying entirely for the sound right?

But I believe as part of the Samco hose kit, there is a upper intercooler hose or something with a little nub that connects right up to a BOV. OTherwise, you will need to weld a flange for the BOV to work.

Welcome to the forum radio.

1. Yes people have used and are still using the FORGE bov kit. I'm not sure about that particular kit but I know people use the FORGE bov.

2. Are you in the UK? That site is based in the UK.

3. I would recommend getting the SAMCO Silicone turbo hose kit and get the one with the turbo hose that has the BOV adapter nub on it and then purchase the SAMCO bov and insert it into place tighten it down and run the vaccum line.

4. Your only other option is to weld it to one of the Aluminum charge pipes.

5. The poster above is right your paying for sound which is cool and all. I had one on my 1999 s70 awd and loved it. You wont gain any performance with it and if your automatic like I am it wont go off unless you let off the gas.
