i wanted to start a thead about how many people had there bypass valve on backwards from the dealer? i am one of them call me crazy but it true! i bet theres a lot of people that have theres backwards and don't even know it! so please check your car and if it is backwards please post in this thead cuz i really wanna see how many cars have them on backwards?

p.s. the brass looking hat on the bypass valve should NOT be facing up tords the hood it should be sideways! the side vent should be going tords the intake piping and the bottom should be going tords the intercooler piping!

guys please check your cars cuz you could be killing your turbo and not even know it and yes even if you never touched your bypass valve it could still be on backwards from

Not unusual, happens alot from the factory, and when I mess with it as well. I was going to mark it "This side up" so I don't get confused. How can it kill the turbo though?

 

I have yet to see one on backwards. but still interesting.

 

AHHH CRUD!, anybody got a pic of it on "right" and "wrong"

 

what are the consequences??

Uh, there's probably several thousand pics of engine bays on here showing the proper configuration. There are also threads where they specifically show the orientation of the stock bov (or stock replacement) just so people know which way it's pointing. Go look...

Your head will implode. jk, just got some "fluttering" with mine on backwards. there are alot of photos of it on right, and wrong. the dealership by me, checks them when they come in, before they put them on the lot. has had 5 come in backwards.

 

I installed it on backwards once back in the days. It held boost well but when it went to blow off it was scary

 

HAHAHAHAHAA ^+1 "tords" i started laughing my *** off when i saw that
then i read your comment and i started crying a little

 

oops sorry for spelling towards wrong anyways i hope you guys are checking?

 

bottom port goes to the UICP and side port to the intake. If installed backwards you'll get shudder

 

call me crazy, but i like the way it sounds when its on backwards!!! if you guys say it makes no harm im about to put it on backwards!

 

my VW friends all swear by their DV's backwords, nice sound and still holds boost, what you guys think of this?
