Took mine out for a 200 mile spirited blast over some local ish b roads, have to say I'm more than happy with the setup now the flutter is resolved. From reading the above I think its pretty clear that the bov supplied just wasnt capable with the extra fueling upgrades on top of the kit that it comes with. From a satisfaction perspective, and bang for buck, I'm still 10/10 for the kit. The ease of install and instructions meant that I could do it myself and do a pretty damn tidy install as well. I'd like to think that if I hadnt upgraded the fueling that the supplied bov would have been adequate - although its tiny compared with what I have now.
Also of note is that with the GB price and buying before the price hike, I really made some savings against what the kit currently costs - which makes it even an better result for me!!

anyone else struggling to fit the tial to the bracket? cant get the bracket to mate up with the tial with the brown rubber ring in place that's supplied with the tial, unless i am being stupid looks like it needs half a mm taking off the inner lip

Just looked on the HKS install sheet and the hose they have provided is 22mm and the smallest Tial port is 1". Without trying i'm not sure if it would fit as 3mm stretch on that hose is going to need some forcing on. (May be possible with some hot water) You could pick up a reducer for fairly cheap though. If you do go down the reducer route i would use the 34mm GTR size port as this is what Mr T and i have used and we know that it works.

If you want to just get the car running wrap some insulation tape over the hose barb until its thick enough to slip the pipe on. Not perfect but will get you out of trouble

Managed to get it on in the end after around 4 hours of faffing, the seal is super tight with the oring on the adapter and tial bov, didn't think their was a chance in hell, but kept at it and managed to somehow get it to squish down
