BOV Install Tips

[Super08Duty]

Well it looks like rudys CAC pipe is way off. Its longer then my precious aftermarket CAC pipe and the bov flange woud put the bov where the battery is. Not to happy, but luckly i have my other CAC pipe still and i have the other flange that i can weld on to the pipe.

Ya longer cause it is used with the CFM elbow. Have fun

which wire did you use to tap into for swithced power? and im guessing the white and blue wire thats easiest to see is the wire you tap into for apps/tps?

 

[White_monster]

I used a power wire from my stereo. I believe that blue we you speak of is right.

 

[Super08Duty]

Thats the only wire i could think of for power. Ill just use that one i suppose. thanks.

Anyone know why the BOV doesnt open under boost? ive played with the settings and im getting nothing. Finally trying to get the truck back to the point of driving it after the several things that have gone wrong. Also what are the shims used for that come with it?

bov will only open from the setting of the tps. so whatever sensitivty level you have it set at thats when it will open. it tells you in the book why the shims are sent, i forget why, but i know we didnt use them on mine.

Well I pulled the bov off and it looks like the o ring broke. I'm guessing it's from over torquing it. I'm hoping that's why the valve wasn't opening. Now I have to figure out how to get a new o ring

Im sure BD sells parts for that thing if you dont mind waiting for it to get there by mail

Im hoping so, i left a message for Kam at BD. so hopefully he can get me one or at least give me an idea of where to find one. Tial would be my second guess of where to find one. And after talking to Kam earlier its possible i might have a bad actuator.
