what size is the OEM BOV coupler

im making an adaptor at work for my new Plumback BOV and i need to know what is the OD of the pipe that sticks out of the metal pipe inbetween the turbo and IC, or just the size of the standard BOV inlet will do. cheers

he

The pipe itself is .780" and it has a fatter lip or ridge at the edge that is .855". Hope that helps.

well when the cars are twenty years old, it helps to have good seals and close tolerances, at least that's what i tell myself.

So, where do you buy the hose to connect b/t the intercooler and the turbo outlet pipe? I mean a non stock one. I think it's 1 3/4 on one end and 2" on the other. Ninty degree elbow is the one I write about.

I got mine with the blow off valve when I bought my Blitz SS BOV from some guy in Hawaii, it has the flange for the BOV and fits the turbo/intercooler perfectly, plus it's some cool marble looking finish.Name:  101_2370.jpg

Im fairly sure you can order one from Greddy. It's in the BOV package, so it's gotta have a part number.

The vac line for my Blitz blowoff valve is the old stock vac line, it plugs onto a nipple right underneath of the Bypass Air Control (BAC) Valve.
