    Blow-Off Valve installed - pics and vid now up, see first post!

    hey all,

    i installed my new Turbosmart Kompact Series Dual Port BOV this afternoon. it took about 10 mins to install by myself with no extra bits, but because of the trumpet on one side can no longer put the engine cover back on

    i'm really happy with it as my turbo lag is not extended and it sounds great.

    SORRY ABOUT THE CRAP QUALITY OF VIDEO, A LOT LOUDER IN THE FLESH....CAN HEAR IT FROM WELL DOWN THE STREET




    and the video:

    Why not Just put a CAI kit on?

    that makes the Diverter Valves more Audiable and it retains stock operation.

    already researched this jimmy, epc light wont come on cos it's dual port and it is pushing sufficient air back through the exhaust port to the TIP. it is interchangeable as well so if there is a problem it has a plug to convert it to full plumbback.

    Mine eventually came on.

    Started to happen when driving along the highway. Consitantly sitting on 100kph. Between brisbane and coast....

    Car just dies so to speak... Just clutch in turn car off then on then clutch out. Easy.

    EDIT: sucks when it happens at night cause the headlights turn off
