BOV question
Hey all,
I managed to get my hands on a small toyota BOV, but the inlet / outlet diameter is about 1 in. while the diameter of my charge pipes is 2.5 in. I was thinking that if I used a bunch of couplers to put the BOV in line it would blow all the time (2.5in of air pushed through 1in diamater = higher pressure, right?) My question is, is it possible to tee off of my charge pipe to a 1in hose that feeds to the
BOV and then back into the charge pipe?
Thanks.

Re:BOV question
I hope your not talking about running the BOV through the charge pipes. All you do is drill a 1 inch hole in the charge pipe and mount the BOV over it. On the BOV outlet i think you would want to run the pipe (or hose) to the turbos intake like the eclipse does. Thas if you want to run it back in the first place.

Re:BOV question
The BOV has three openings on it. One very small one which I was thinking was the actual blow off outlet (am I wrong?). Then it has 2 1in openings on either side. My idea was to drill the charge pipe and connect the BOV via a hose at one of the 1in openings. Then I would reverse this, putting a hose from the other 1in opening on the BOV to a second drill hole in the charge pipe. My understanding of this setup was that it would allow the air to pass through the BOV as well as the charge pipe, and the BOV could then release through that small hole. I am staritng to think that the small hole is no the blow off and that I am confused about the whole thing. If someone could instruct me how to post a pic I can show you guys what I have got.
