Hi mate, I had the same issue...look for it on Ebay...or if not, ask the retailer that's selling you the HKS SSQ they should sell it.

Moreover, also try Autobarn - I actually got mine of there. If they don't have it, they can order one in for you - should take a week or so.

Good luck mate.

Yeah i've already ask the seller but he said he only has the weld on ones, How much was it from autobarn?, cos i finally came across one on ebay but it'll cost me up to $50

Cheers.

Or you could keep the stock one for free.

Being the ATMO BOV is most likely going to cause you overfuelling/backfiring/economy issues...

If you are worried about $50. It'll be a LOT worse when your car starts mashing through more than $50 extra fuel a month just for a bit of noise :)

I have to put my hand up and say, I'm guilty as well...got defected for the BOV...

Ok, like Nismoid said...keep the stocky for better fuel economy and stuff like that...get an after market BOV if you want the SSSHHHTTT sound...oh yeah! :)

Yeah mate, $50 bucks sounds right. I bought mine from Autobarn for around $35 but that was like 2 years ago. $50 now sound about right...up to you mate. You need that adaptor.

Personally, I say return the HKS SSQ altogether...makes shit BOV sounds and you gotta run so much boost through it for it to do anything...and it doesn't flutter either...

Good luck.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
