Mark Ayling Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Chaps.... Went to Leon's today to pick my car up, but there's still problems with it so its staying there for another couple of days. The Blitz SSBOV I have is dumping boost at high revs, as if the valve is opening up before it should. Leon's going to blank it off and unplug the standard BOV for a quick/cheap fix, but I'll want to get it sorted at some point. Firstly, what will I lose/gain by switching back to the standard BOV? (apart from the loud noise, which is nevertheless important ) Also, is it worth me trying to repair the Blitz, should I replace it with a different/better one or is it not really worth having one at all? Currently its welded onto the downpipe from the throttle body (hardpipe), so it could be a pain to replace I guess (?) Any info appreciated. TIA, Mark.

dude Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 If your downpipes ally you can put a HKS bov in with the fitting from leon or it can go in the stock location , my blitz bit the dust at leons too , i just bought a HKS off him and we put it on there and then .

Mark Ayling Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 John, Leon said you had trouble with yours as well. Not sure how easy it would be to fit another type of BOV in the same location, I guess it would need some welding work? This is what its like at the mo: http://www.mpaconsultancy.co.uk/supra/bov.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Very simple if your pipe is aluminium not if its stainless. John:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Mark the original Blitz ones were sh1te. The new ones are excellent. They fit the same flange. They have a nice little part throttle feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It has a small orifice to take care of the small part throttle lifts rather than a large opening. Should be quicker to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ayling Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Nice one, cheers. I'll probably go for the new Blitz one then, if it just fits on the existing flange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I am sure it does. Mine looks identical ( flange to my old Blitz one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be quicker to respond. Like the HKS SQV's have had for the last 7 years then...... Hi Terry, nice to see you back Nathan TDI PLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hi Nathan. I had a HKS SSBOV fail on me on the engine dyno. However, I have both now BTW:p One push one pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Oooh....my blow-off orifice is bigger thans yours.... I presume the Blitz ones are still push type then? Must admit I do prefer pull type as you know they will never open under boost. Not unless they break in half anyway.....that wasn't what happened to your HKS one was it?....gulp...
