any personal experience installing a HKS BOV onto vrsf chargepipe

How tight/snug does the c-clip have to be on the HKS bov to the flange of the Chargepipe? i cant get it any tighter. i think its in properly..

like...is the BOV suppose to be SO tight onto the flange the bov would feel like its absolutely bolted on or...

because with some decent amount of strength the bov turns slightly..

any personal experience installing a HKS BOV onto vrsf chargepipe?

its not suppose to turn. Open the c clip and push down on the bov hard while releasing the clip. also make sure there is a gasket between the bov & flange.

What tool did you use to get the c-ring into the flange? i use a small piler, but it seems snug but i can turn the bov by hand. Tiago seems to think my c ring is not sitting flushed with the groove.
