BMS silicone inlet install question

haaken675 · 01-11-2021, 01:52 PM

Hey everyone, I am in the process of finishing the install of my new turbos and a bunch of other maintenance items. I came across something I wasn't expecting. I purchased BMS 2" inlets as the Pure 600's required the larger inlets.

When i put the rear inlet in yesterday, I noticed that one of the holes, the one for the PCV, is a much larger hole then the one that I will be capping off for the stock diverter valves. I circled what I am referring to in the attachment.

I'm running an aftermarket catch can, and the way it interacted with the stock rear inlet won't work with the BMS inlet. What am I missing here? Is there a special adapter I need or something? I haven't been able to find anything online thus far.

I think there is an adapter for it, contact them to ask.

I really wish all these companies would publish more info on all of the products. This entire install has gone soo poorly since im doing a bunch of upgrades all at the same time...I equate it to building custom pistols. One or two aftermarket parts is ok, but all of the tolerance stacking of aftermarket parts starts to cause a bit of a negative chain reaction...More documentation from each vendor and i could have been done in the weekend time frame as originally expected...

I did receive an answer, and it was the least useful reply I have received from a vendor, period... They just told me the PCV goes there...Thanks BMS, real helpful....

The flapper valve goes there, cut the plastic hose off, it’s a barbed fitting. The supplied clamps are used for that.

My pcv hose does not have a connection that in any way, shape, or form could possibly mate up to it.
