96745, Star FMIC piping w/ Turbo XS RFL BOV fitment issues?
Posted by clipse_2005, Aug-13-06 07:47 PM
I was just wondering if anyone here has the Star FMIC w/ piping with the HKS BOV Flange on the piping that has purchased the adapter for the RFL BOV that they sell through Turbo XS. Are there any fitment issues with the RFL BOV using the Turbo XS SSQV to RFL adapter? Just wondering because the RFL is so much taller than the SSQV, does anyone know from experience?

I know I have the RFL on my star piping, and so does boosted60trimrst, he said he had some clearance issues, but I have none. However, I got my piping used and already flanged for the RFL (not that it's an actual flange just a pipe that the bov clamps onto) and mine just clears my hood both with the stock hood and my CF hood.

Sorry I don't have any good pictures of the piping without the BOV installed, but if you look closely at this one you might be able to see what I mean and know if that's how your's will look. It's on the pipe right above the intercooler.

ha . good memory , my rfl does have some clearence issues . i had to change the fitting on top to a 90 degree fitting . also i had to bang in the skeleton part of the hood a lil where the fitting touches. now it just closes without touching .
