I got a new BPV and decided to do a write-up on it.
Tools needed,
pliers
phillips screwdriver
socket set with a 10mm Or 8mm can't remember.
Time taken for job,
About 20 mins
First thing is, take of the black shroud around the TMIC (top mount intercooler). If you need a picture of this stop right now, put down the torch and take the car to a shop.
Here is what it will look like when that shroud is off.
This is the stock BPV (bypass valve)
Once you locate this take your pliers and remove the clamps that hold the two tubes that connect to the stocker.
Small tube (vacuum assist tube, helps to pull the BPV open when you let off the gas)
Big tube (recirculation tube, lets the air released from the boost side of the turbo to the ambient side)
Now take your socket set and use an extension with your 10mm (or 8mm) socket to get to the two bolts holding the BPV in place.
Top side bolt
Bottom side bolt
That will allow you to pull the valve out and disconnect the hoses as you go.
Here is what it looks like when you get it out.
This is the new Forge unit I got from MAP .
Now just reverse the order that you used to take the stocker off. There is just one difference. Use the supplied hose clamp for the large hose.
Sorry I didn’t get I pic of that part but this is what the clamp looks like
When you’re all done this is what you have.
This was one of the easiest installs you can do. It also has great performance benefits if you ask me. The car feels like it pulls much better and has almost no hesitation at all now.
Feel free to post up your comments and your experience with installing this piece.
