Need to crush my 1g bov

My 1g bov was the cause of what i thought was a boost leak somewhere after my fmic install. I went over every coupler and pipe connection several times and then still had the problem. Finally I did a pressurized smoke test and found the when the boost was increased to only 14 pounds, the bov opened and let smoke out. I am wondering if trying to crush my 1g bov myself is the way to go and exactly how to do it. I dont want to mess it up if i do do it so the more detail the better.

I believe there's a write-up on tuners about it, or probably in the vfaq. It's not that hard IIRC. I've never done it, but read about it a million times.

You might want to invest in an aftermarket blow off valve. IIRC even the crushed ones are only effective to 18-20psi and even then can still leak.

LOL glad you found the problem... a type-RS would be perfect IMO ;)

LOL yea, i got a type rs with the fmic kit i bought but the flange was for a 1g so i just put mine back on there. I think its a knock off type rs but still has the knob to turn from hard to soft. Should i try to get that type rs on there instead of my 1g?

Yes, you should.

If you have a knock-off type rs then I would stick to the 1g. Knock-off bovs suck ass

Worth a shot IMO. You already have the knockoff and its an easy deal, why not see how much pressure it will hold?

does anyone have any experience with the knockoff type rs bov
