Charge pipe install help needed ASAP

Game · 07-07-2015, 08:09 PM

Hey guys,

In the middle of my charge pipe install. Got everything out and the new VRSF is ready to go along with the Turbosmart BOV, just need to know where to connect the vacuum hoses.

The BOV has two of these ports.

VRSF also included this hose and adapter.

Take off the "T" splitter and attach to blow off valve. Make sure you remove/cap stock diverter valves.

So I'm not removing the vacuum hose from the throttle body nipple correct?

Stock diverter valves have been capped.

There should be a fitting that screws into the BOV with a nipple for the vacuum hose. I am surprised that you have two vacuum inputs into your BOV. Here is how mine looks with my Tial BOV:

Not unless the hose is too short to reach the BOV. Then switch to what came with the unit. If you change it out- cut the existing vacuum line to ensure you don't break the nipple on the manifold.

I dont know why they cant give a long enough hose. Or are the hose sizes different?

Yeah the turbosmart raceport BOV doesn't come with such a screw. All it has are two ports on the side of the head.

+1
It is very easy to break off that nipple.

So my only confusion remains what I'm actually attaching to the BOV.

By the looks of a picture I found online, I may be missing some pieces. Notice one of the ports is capped by a nut and the other has a connection for the vacuum hose.

Problem solved guys, dumped the entire box of peanuts from the large box of the BOV to find a tiny bag with the missing pieces. Thanks for the help.
