Injen upper ic to bov
ok let me tell you whats happening. I have the injen pipping kit and i have made some mods on it to fit and line up with a straight intercooler. Not ones where the ends are bent down. long story short fitment is not a issue. My issue is the bov valve. I have used regular clamps I even bought some T-bolt clamps same results. what happens is when im boosting at about 11-15 psi range as its going up it blows my bov valve up out of the upper ic. hences the fact why i used tbolt and regular clamps. Yes im using injen airintake before you ask. I want to know how people fixed this issue that have the injen system. I really dont CARE TO BUY another upper ic if i can avoid it completely. there are plenty of folks on here using the injen boosting i want those folks to chime in. Now i just got my fp red in my room today im not installing anything till i get this bov problem sorted out. Now i have a evo 8 plastic diverter i was gonna invest in a aps twin vent. i wonder because the diverter is so light is that why its coming out weight issue or how did others overcome this

Have you tried changing the hose that holds the bov, the hose they supply is kind of slippery if I remember correctly. I used to have that problem and changed to a slightly thinner hose and it never popped back out.

props to you for getting it to fit in the first place. I bought a straight intercooler but had injen piping and no matter how much adjusting we couldn't get it to fit so I have to go out and get some custom ones. You can get hoses off of ebay for cheap.

i ordered a 1.5 blue hose. will get that in and then put it on and see if i can boost without it popping off past 11psi. to get it to fit a straight ended intercooler its gonna be at a angle bro. You have to get some 45 degree couplers and it would help alot to get a 45 degree coupler for the middle section of the pipe. fits perfect after that. my kit came with everything except the middle 45 degree coupler i ordered one from the UK. I can show you pics of mine if you like lol but it fits im not gonna go out and buy another intercooler. I bought a aps intercooler and i love it nice and large like most intercoolers out there. Also not gonna buy another pipping kit period. I dont like to rebuy things ill just mod it. SO it works like it suppose to.

i had the same issue before. i just adjusted my intake bit by bit to get the perfect fitment to where my bov would not blow off.. i installed the syncronic bov a couple of months ago so had to go through same thing. you could use hair spray to spray on the inside of the coupler before you put the piece on as stated, helps it "hold" better. vidal sassoon works best..jk
