Aaron Cake 10-10-07 06:19 PM

Yes.

Rxseven7 10-10-07 06:28 PM

how would i go about that. is there a write up of some sorte.

Aaron Cake 10-10-07 06:42 PM

It depends on the BOV. Most of the time you will need to purchase or fab up a short section of pipe to replace the stock pipe that comes off the turbo. The difference is that your new one will include a flange for your BOV. Then plug the BOV hole in the TID and you're good to go after connecting the vacuum line.

Rxseven7 10-10-07 06:54 PM

TID? what company is a good one to go with, and what company comes with the short pipeing.

djmtsu 10-10-07 06:59 PM

Never been done before.

Aaron Cake 10-10-07 07:57 PM

TID = Turbo Inlet Duct. This and other acronyms can be found in the FAQ thread.

Not sure offhand who sells the complete pipe replacement as I've always fabbed stuff like this. However I just checked with RX-7 Store and they have all the appropriate flanges for the popular BOVs. So in theory you could just have welder modify your stock pipe with the appropriate flange.

I bought my Apexi Twin Chamber with the replacement 'up' pipe. It even has the nipple to connect the BAC if so inclined.

Rxseven7 10-11-07 03:43 PM

how dose the apexi one sound do you have any clips, or dose anyone wana fab one up for me and ill pay ya :)

djmtsu 10-11-07 03:47 PM

I don't have any clips but it has a nice whoosh sound to it. Not that annoying high pitch squeal that ricers like so much.

Maybe Aaron has a clip, I think he has one too.

Wow, how nice and helpfful of you Aaron! You actually are answering questions and not flaming people and telling them to "search"! You really live up to your name dude!:icon_tup:

As to the thread starter, good luck with your mod, this is done fairly often, and should not be hard at all to do yourself with just basic hand tools after you get the welding sorted out!

Thats probably one of the better sounding ones, has a nice "rush of air" sound, had it on my old TII, though Ive never heard the turbo xs in person.

I put a Turbosmart Stealth BoV on mine, easy job. All BoVs will make the ptshhhhhhh sound, only the SSQV will sound different. Can post pics if needed.
