mrmandmman 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Well I got my ATP bov.... your not the only one anymore doug... but if you look at that that flange.. that has to be welded on... it is not lined up correctly so it would be mounted semi sideways.... should i call atp up and ask for a new flange? ... also... it came with two springs... i am assuming i can just use the one thats in there?....and also... small horn or large?

Guest DougK Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Oh bastard you got the small horn! Thats the one I wanted!! I had 2 flanges (one got boogered up in shipping) and it lined up perfectly. It's REALLY snug for that last 1/4 turn. Tell me how you like it, I haven't really got to hear much of mine yet! You *may* have to swap in the other spring mine was to stiff to hear it on the drive around my shop (before the headgasket let loose).Beatiful! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DougK Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 One thing I wasn't sure of is if your supposed to put a plug in the other vac port. Hmmm Link to post Share on other sites
mrmandmman 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I just got off the phone with them... he is sending me a new flange and he said I would most likely need to put the other spring in... and that the vacuum port doesnt need to be plugged Link to post Share on other sites

Ya I defiently have to switch to the other spring. The nice thing is, the way their BOV is setup, boost helps FORCE it shut vs something like TurboXS where boost can cause the piston to open ;) Link to post Share on other sites
SubCrash 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 What does the new BOV help you do? Just sound cool? Link to post Share on other sites
mrmandmman 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 ok so I got a new one .... now look how this one fits....better.... but i would like it 90 degrees rotated and perfectly straight Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DougK Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 pics dont work. How far off is it? Mine wouldn't thread on by hand the last 15-20*, but when I attached it to the pipe I had enough leverage to do it w/out a problem. Link to post Share on other sites
mrmandmman 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 oh ok... its lined up so that the bov would sit at a 90 degree angle from the pipe... I think I'll just get it welded on and twist that sucker on... if its crooked... meh my cars not a show car :P Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DougK Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 wait its 90* off?You know to be honest.. I really dont think the screwed on BOV is atp's best idea.You could use teflon tape (a couple thick passes) to get it to "stop" earlier.I think if I did it again i'd probably see if they can do a different mounting method.

mrmandmman 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 yeah.. if i screw it all the way down... the bov would sit perpendicular to the pipe... well.. slightly past perpendicular....I might talk to em again to see whats up... maybe have them test fit one on a BOV before they send it to me Link to post Share on other sites
