Just got JB4, need charge pipe and DV

Helltime · 06-17-2014, 09:24 PM

Well, I have a N54 I JUST installed JB4 not even 2 hours ago, drove less than 15-20 miles, get on it a bit on an on ramp, all of the sudden I hear a pop and boost leak, I looked at my friend in the passenger seat and said "diverter valve". Called it, it actually shot out of the charge pipe. So...where should I look for a new set, not a huge fan of loud blow off valves on my vehicles, but I did do the $2 bov mod on stock diverters and it was just enough.
Suggestions?

I just installed a VRSF CP. I ponied up for the OEM clip type. Whatever you get I recommend getting the clip on type

I have a tial BOV. I am over 50 and really hate anything boy racerish. I feel embarrassed getting out of anything even remotely related to that. I was quite concerned about the sound of the BOV but don't have a lot of options for DV. Long story short I have the Tial BOV and am very pleased with the sound. It can be heard but not badly and is not a horrible sound. I believe they also make a tial valve that can work with as a muffled BOV.

I went ER with Tial BOV, they were the only ones not back ordered and I should have it by tomorrow (Saturday morning at the latest) so I can make my Saturday afternoon trip!

Easy install just be careful of the vacuum line connections, I believe the source nipple is plastic and can break if manhandled
