adamjjohn203 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Last Tuesday I received the new IPD HD Turbo Control Valve for beta testing.The install was super easy, Lucky had numbers stamped into the metal of the unit next to the hose attachments. #1 to this hose and even the hose color. I had replaced my vacuum hoses so I did not have any colors to match but the old unit has color dots to ease any bit of confusion.Plug and Play Baby...Attach 3 hoses and on plug and slide the bracket onto the stock spot!!!The HD TCV works flawlessly and holds the same boost pattern as before and I feel like the reaction of boost might calculate quicker. So I give it :thumbup: :thumbup: for another great IPD product!! Good job Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s70turbo1998 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks for the review and the pics! I have been contemplating IPD's TCV for a while, this review has definitely helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Same part that will work on 850's ? Sounds like a great product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great product.If you check IPD's site it says it is only currently for the x70's and newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 No reason why it wouldn't work on an 850. TCV's are pretty simple tech :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_R Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you check IPD's site it says it is only currently for the x70's and newer.That's because we have a rounded BCS style for the 850/70, newer ones have a square looking one like in the pics above. All you need to do is fab a small braket and walla, you got yourself a new BCS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont know very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont know very much.Why not, they are both achieving the same goal, just different design styles. You have turbo housing discharge, waste gate and bleed to the intake of the turbo just follow the OEM colors for reference on the Chilton's manual and that's it.I adapted a Greddy BCS to my car and it works great and that's aftermarket so..

I ASSumed maybe there might have been a difference due to the ME4, ME7, etc. The BCS/TCV does communicate with the ECU, doesnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshV70 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Same plug Adam. This will work on 850's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
