Sf turbo blow off valve.
Im stitting here looking at my sf blow of valve saying to my self, all that holds it into the tube is rubber? SO i decided to take the blow off valve out of the tube that it came in. Sure enough all it is held in by is a long rubber tube. Does this make since to anyone else? Pressure being created by the turbo then being forced into the intake manifold, and the blow off valve is held in by rubber? Dosnt make sine to me. Has anyone had any problems with this?

yeah a screw should hold it in...up till today, I on had a screw in the intake piping then it went into the rubber ONLY but as of recently my blowoff valve been falling out like crazy...sucks when u trying to race someone too
...anyway so what I did today was drill a hole in the BOV so now that screw goes into the intake piping then the rubber piece than the BOV itsself and I drove it around...hit 5psi (thats daily) and hit 8psi on it on two different occasions and then checked the BOV and its still in there pretty solid...do it this way or somewhat similar so u wont be racing and u lose and u pop your hood and your BOV is sitting on your vtec cover....I did that recently and could only hit like 2-3psi and lost to a B16 (civic SI) with I/E/H and then I put it back in and put a couple cars on him (by the time I let off) on 5psi

Rep Power: 0 the one that goes off from the turn to hard or soft and it goes to the t thing. it keeps getting holes in it so i am only able to boost for 1 or 2 times then i lose all pressure again. the auto is fast as heck but only for maybe 10 minits then bam back to stock speed
