anyway to make sure BOV works?

Do you need to test the BOV before using putting it on? can you find out if it works before welding?

hook a vacuum line to it. rev your car. it'll close and open when you press on the gas and let off.

cause it wont give you a sound unless there is pressure to release, the air escaping is what makes the sound

lol, maybe riceboys will one day someone get like a pressurized source (like a small compressor from an airhorn) and hook it up and pretend they got boost!

anyhow, i hope i can weld it on my charge pipe, i don't have a flange though..

do i need a special flange for a 2G DSM BOV??

Re:anyway to make sure BOV works?

thats right kine, thats what I did. Used a 94 civic EX stock intake pipe

cut this out (dremel or X-acto knife)

make sure you have that rubber gasket piece on the BOV and just slide it into the socket, and it has a groove for a hose clamp. and plug the valve cover breather grommet with a bolt and a hose clamp otherwise air will leak out
