So I have a R.I.P.S front facing plenum to install and of course a host of other parts including a brand new turbo (oh I cant wait), and I will need to relocate the position of the BOV, I can either use the stock BOV over on the turbo side and run a vacuum line back to the plenum (annoying) or I can run a HKS atmo BOV I have and install it on the intake side just out of sight on the IC piping and run a short vacuum line to the plenum (cleaner)...

So which should I do? and I have read some of the threads on this but where do most people run the vacuum line back the plenum where it is neat and tidy?

and either way where do I find a flange to weld in?

The stock flange I could cut out of the cross over pipe and use I guess but its alloy and the IC piping is stainless, is that a problem? new flange would be preferable.

I'd just weld a GTR BOV to the intake piping just before the plenum, somewhere around where the battery tray would be (on a R32) etc.

If you get the full attachment then you can easily just cut and reweld that flange on so you can remove the BOV itself, shouldn't take a fabricator very long at all to sort that out. Very quick and easy.

thanks for the reply.

isnt the GTR BOV a plumb back which goes into the pipe after the AFM before the turbo... if thats the case where do you run the plumbing to get back to the hot side.

I hope Im understadning this right.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
