Most likely...if I can get it to a muffler shop. It's a galvanized pipe that I got though...don't know if that makes a difference.

when you weld galvanized it emits toxic fumes... your welder should be aware of this.

so i was on ebay, and noticed a bunch of identical BOV's to the greddy type s and type rs and the hks SSQV. i wonder if they how they are, if they are teh same thing just being remanufactured off the design or just being sold at barely over whole sale and just de-labeled. also, i think your bov thxone is a rip off version of OBX.

As I was scrolling down the previous page my friend got a quick glimpse of thxone's blowoff valve with the hose on it and stuff, and at a quick glance it is a pretty funny picture, with the way you see his jeans and what not.

It all depends on the item. I've noticed for the bov's it's a "you get what you pay for" deal. Check this article: http://www.importtuner.com/tech/0612.../photo_06.html
The outsides are the same, but the internal design is different. About the only thing I've heard that's ok are the intercoolers and cat back exhausts.

Umm, Bleach...are you trying to say that you want ME to mount something in an uncomfortable spot? I think that might be more Snw's speed Is it just me or does it seem like this thread got a little twisted towards the perverse?

On another note...let's just call it product testing, with the parts that I have bought. The MBC has worked perfectly and without any problems to speak of so far, however, the adjusting screw is starting to tarnish. But hey, it was less than $7. On the BOV, it is cheap in price but looks like good quality parts...we will see how it does.

My BOV pictured on page 24 is the Greddy knockoff from eBay. About $50

Works good in my opinion... when the transmission works

Snwy, I'm serious. It has the same plate on the side where it usually has Greddy engraved but is just a smooth surface. Seems like a good quality unit.

You remember Black81 who got kicked off the forum... I still hear from him on occasion. I pointed him to the same unit and he bought it for his car.

Seems like it seals perfectly. I haven't had it opening at idle or anything strange. And it vents to atmosphere and my engine hasn't blown up yet!
maybe the atmosphere venting is what destroyed my transmission!!!

No, I have definitely heard it in a movie...it will come to me. I remember it cause it was in reference to a guy that always tried bang chicks in the ****, the guy was Ben Aflec. Ahhh it WAS Mall Rats!! See, I just had to talk about it more.

Did you ever get your ECU plugs worked out? After you suggested that could be the source of my problem, I started messing with them and it was. So I was wondering if you fixed them yet, and if so what you did?
