The big Intercooler thread.

Agreed make a video, with the hood open and having somebody rev the engine for you. If you bought the charge pipes with venting to atmosphere you should've capped the intake.

Give me a while and ill post it up. The intake is capped and i double checked it.
Ill have to do one driving cause screaming old lady is only audible WO under load.

Why wouldn't you email or pm the manufacturer of the products you installed for a resolution? It sounds like the BOV isn't closing all the way, possibly because the vacuum line isn't hooked up correctly. You should be running a vacuum line from the top of the BOV to the back of the intake manifold where there is a white 90° connector. Cut the hard plastic off, install 7/32 hose, and a 1/4 tee and tee into that line for a vacuum source. If you don't have a proper vacuum source the BOV won't function properly.

Adam, with your guys' charge kit and new BPV setup, doesn't the kit come with everything included? Does anyone buying the IC+Charge kit NEED to get a vacuum line or is that for a specific add-on when buying the kit?

When I bought the charge pipe/BOV kit I had to buy the vacuum line and tee from pep boys.

They don't supply the hose or the tee with their kits. They have a notice on their product page that says the vacuum line won't be included and explains why.

Yup thats it definitely, i didnt write you guys directly cause i figured you werent here till Monday, ive bothered adam enough as it is. Il swing by peobous or something and do that and report back, thank you

So just to be sure...its hose from bov to 1/4 tee and from that tee a hose to the 90 degree connector?

 

[lisandra]

Heck screw it im on my way

You might want to adjust the BOV too. If you didn't adjust it, turn it clockwise till fully tightened, then back it off 1.5-2 turns. If it's not staying closed, that could also be part of the problem.

You need to find the line with the 90° connector, cut the hard plastic off, cut the hose, put the tee where the cut is (like you're reconnecting what you just cut), then run the hose from the BOV to the remaining part of the tee sticking up.

Got it. I have the tee people! Now where to find a hose on a sunday at 7pm...

Auto Parts stores, if they aren't closed. If they are, then make a post on Facebook or call car friends. Usually someone will have vacuum hose laying around. Lol

Exactly, here it is from our site:

"*This kit does not include vacuum line or t-fitting. Our goal was to allow you to choose your boost source so you can customize your engine bay however you want. Recommended size is 7/32" vacuum line with a 1/4" Tee*"

Some customers already have a turbo smart factory placement BOV that has hose and adapter already, so they can simply change it. Some people change up how they route it.
