Just curious if any of you can or have a walk-thru on how to install the Turbonetics Godzilla BOV onto the aftercooler of a Comptech Supercharge? Also what do i do with the hole its going to leave by the filter? Thanks guys
Plug the hole on the intake side. Run the vaccum hoses per the pictures. Adjust the spring tension as necessary.
These are some OLD ass pics. Remove the entire bypass assembly off the intake hose and just plug the hose on the actual elbow itself. I used a black rubber chair plug like what you would find on the end of a crutch. Home depot. Jammed that bitch into the hole and made SURE it would not go all the way through.
^^ Ya, what he said...in fact, I remember printing that second pict as a reference when I did mine!
Disconnect, move the vacuum to the BOV and cap it off the larger hose. I capped the vacuum input on the stock by-pass too and left it in place, though without any vacuum source I would imagine it would remain shut anyway.
As far as the BOV itself, the primary reason for going with the Godzilla is that it bolts up with no modification. If it takes you any more than 10 minutes you're doing something wrong. Keep an eye on the thin o-rings that are on the plunger and adapter plate. They can fall off easily. It can be positioned up or down - your choice.
did you guys have to buy new bolts? cause i took the part that connects to the AC and the stock bypass valve but then looked at the bov and there is not bolt that came with the kit that is long enough to bolt to the AC?
OK so i just installed it... but i have a J's racing header and J's Racing 70rr exhaust but i cant hear the bov... is it cause my car is freakin loud? or would the bov sound overcome the exhaust?
i adjusted the spring... i might have the vacuum hose wrong? i did it vacuum hose from intake manifold straight to bov? is this correct? if not what am i suppose to do with it and where is the ACV? dont know what it looks like if there are pics of this part of the setup it would be greatly appreciated
run the car and pop the hood. bring the revs up with your hand at the trottle body. when you release the throttle check the valve and make sure there is air blowing out of it. if its coming out you did it right - but that still doesnt mean its gonna be loud.
ok so i just ran the car and put my hand where it would blow out and i feel air coming out at idle so would it be because the spring isnt tight enough? cause when i revved it up i felt it blow out aswell but with a lil more pressure
