April 2, Salesman at Vivid said design was changed to deal with heat. Hi Jon, Thank you fir the inquiry. The the vacuum line to the BOV should go directly to the intake manifold using the supplied fitting. Please give us a call if we can assist with anything else! Hi I just installed the kit on my maverick.

Is the piston supposed to move down when the throttle is engaged? And also when trying to adjust it I had the lower most o ring actually come out the hole of the blow off valve. I really need the help. Thanks a lot! The engine will need to see load to better build boost. The BOV will actuate after the engine is under load when the throttle plate is snapped shut.

At this time, the BOV opens to release pressurized air from the system, to minimize compressor surge and maintain turbo speed. You will need to start the adjustment at full soft. Loosen the valve all the way, but stop before the O-ring is exposed. Give our team a call if we can help with anything else! My buggy is routinely in water deep enough to reach the valve.

When not actuated, the BOV is sealed air tight without the means for water or dirt to get into the system. While submerged in water, river crossing, for example we recommend trying to stay out of boost as much as possible, to minimize the chance of water intrusion. I believe the referenced O-Ring is located in the valve port and seals off the piston when in the most closed position and is fully exposed when the piston opens up to the discharge port.

Said O-Ring pops out of grove and sticks the piston in the open position making it impossible to set. There is no O-Ring retainer when the piston is open. Please send an email over to sales agency-power. Because I installed it but I can barely hear it I want it to go pshttt lol, do I make it softer or harder? Hey Chad, so sorry to hear about this.

Our conditions were a combination of dusty Centennial Wyoming trails, sandy river riding, dirt trail with mud, and river crossings. If you'd still like to run one, a filter with pre-filter IS include but not needed! Our BOV mounts in the stock location and no extras are needed!

If wanted the BOV can replace and route the stock hoses so no noise is heard. This is common as the stock plastic BOV is prone to failure from warping. Bobby H. The shipment was fast.
