I am trying to install my stock BOV, coz the hks bov does not sound right for me.
but i find it very difficult to insert my stock BOV into the big hose.
any advice for me?
or if you are willing to help me out right now, i live in nor san jose, near berryessa.
i have soda to offer

edit: i think it will be a lot easier if i take off the tmic.
but i am not so sure if i wanna mess with that.
don't know how to put it back on if i took it off.
anyone with experience taking off tmic?
any pointers?

 

I am in San Mateo and could lend a hand... but not driving to SJ.

 

i installed the bov half way into the big hose
is that fine?
couldn't stick it in all the way.

can the car be driven without a bov?

 

thanks anyway.
any tips for taking off the tmic?

 

you can try using a little grease...

 

if you got it half way in it shouldnt be too hard to get the rest in, just get some vice grips on that metal clip and push like hell. Also it helps a lot to take of the intercooler and its pretty straight forward to put it on and off. take of the 3 hoses, unscrew the 2 screws that hold the y-pipe on and then the 2 top screws and bov screws and it comes off with a small tug.
If you have any problems, throw me a PM.

Diy !!!

 

thanks so much,
that video helps so much.
i am done with the installation now.
thanks again

 

good that you are done. I wouldn't really use grease thou. I have taking the BOV off and on plenty of times and I use a hair blow dryer to warm the pipe up.. it slips on quite easily
