Forum:
Hi I'm in New Zealand and I own a 2000 YRV Turbo which I use a promotional vehicle for my business.
I want to fit a blow off valve to turn some heads except no off the shelf kits are available here.
My two options are to import a kit - any thoughts on something suitable?
Or to buy one of these... http://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/?action=products&part=23283
... a standard HKS SUPER SQV 2 for $230 NZ or 105 GBP.
The only problem with the standard HKS bov is that it needs a custom adapter...
Anyone have a guide to fit a bov to a YRV?
Thanks
could still be generic, but its got all the bits...
Something like this?

Cheers, that's pretty pricey
Cheers, that's pretty pricey - looks like I might be heading down the custom route unless anyone has any other thoughts?
custom
Yep... definitely expensive.
If you get a good quality standard one, they all do pretty much the same thing. Is this the type of sound/setup you are looking for?

have a look on ebay, just get a universal bov and get correct silicone hose to match the adapter .I used exactly the same on my avanzato.

BLITZ do a kit for the YRV
BLITZ do a kit for the YRV TURBO,have a look at there web site,but cant remember if its a BOV or a DUMP VALVE..I was going to buy one but with the HKS SUPER POWERFLOW filter and the waste gate it sounds pretty good anyway so saved my money![Smile](https://www.daihatsu-drivers.uk/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/smile.gif)
Simply removed the small pipe
Simply removed the small pipe from the rear of the air intake pipe as I accidently did once - the original valve is MUCH louder! Actually DON'T, it may do damage lol...........still it sounded good![Wink](https://www.daihatsu-drivers.uk/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/wink.gif)

How did you mount the BOV?
Hi Steve,
Like the idea of getting a universal HKS bov but struggling to see how I'd mount it? What have you done on your car?
The only adapters I can find are these...

I'm a bit confused as I have seen pictures and video of HKS bovs which look like they have been mounted with a special adapter...

You mentioned silicon hose were you thinking something like this... http://www.turbohoses.com/bov_silicone_hoses_lg.jpg
Yeah that's the style I'm
Yeah that's the style I'm going for, I've just got to think outside the square to mount one I think - I've just put some questions to Steve below...
If you are just after a noise...
I have a Blitz Stainless fitted fitted to my Turbo and when you lift off the Gas it basically makes the same noise as a BOV. A BOV will only give you noise and no performance I'm afraid. Same as my filter![Sad](https://www.daihatsu-drivers.uk/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/sad.gif)
