Since we're on the subject thought I'd ask

Where off the plenum do people usually plumb the vacume hose from? any pics?

Ive just installed a GFB BOV and Ive been driving lightly with it seems like everytime I take the foot off the throttle I get a surge, unless thats what the BOV is suppose to sound like.

hey guys

well i wanna take the standard bov on my car and just wanna know how to do it and where can i get plugs from

Why do you want to take the BOV off for? they are put on from the factory for a reason. Turbo cars become real jerky to drive with them removed and you can also damage your turbo. They are there to vent some of the compressed air off

if this turns into *another* BOV vs no BOV thread i think i'm going to kill myself <_<

If you want to take the bov off as mentioned already it'll only be held in by a couple of of bolts. Once it is off, you will need a plate to block off the original outlet, and you'll need to seal up the hose that plubs back into the inlet tract.

    • Because the drive dog for the steeering angle sensor is present on wheels that came in HICAS cars and not present on wheels that came on non-HICAS cars. Not that I would let that bother me, because HICAS is trash and any excuse to get rid of it is a good excuse.
    • My plan is to replace both Shift Solenoids A and B, and good idea on the Torque Convertor Solenoid as well.  
    • I mean, I am always taking donations for a newer model!!  If you'd like to sponsor me. I would gladly get something else!! LOL
    • Interesting.  Great info. thank you.  Give a few days to get that name plate.  I have a busy life most weeks.  I will be in touch.
    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.
