Samurai 20V Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Chaps.. I have an issue with the BOV pipe on my BPU tt6. Car has the OEM BOV. The pipe keeps on blowing off under boost.. It is as shown in the pic below. The pipe is a new OEM pipe, the clamps are new OEM, I even tried thick cable ties.. Is the BOV not functioning correctly? The boost does vent through the intake, so I think its working... Anything I can do here? Appreciate any help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Have you tried normal jubilee clips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 blockage somewhere? Valve stuck/broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Have you tried normal jubilee clips? No mate, I thought the OEM were superior? - - - Updated - - - blockage somewhere? Valve stuck/broken? I think the valve may be stuck, looking for confirmation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 When does it come off, at full throttle or as you lift off? If its at full throttle the the vavle should be shut anyway! Plus I thought you said you can hear it rcurculating ? I presume on lift off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then its simply not on tight enough, As the boost rises its just forcing its self off, I know its obvious but did you make sure that the connection to the bov was clean and oil free? other then that all i can say is bend the stock toyota clips so that its tighter ,as you may have bent them too wide when fitting making them loose?

Thanks mate.. I did make sure it was clean, will double check.. Also getting some jubilee clamps, hopefully it sorts the issue out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
