1g BOV fit UICP flanged for greddy bov?

[GsXtacY325]

wil a 1st gen blow off valve fit on an upper intercooler pipe that was flanged for a greddy bov? a friend of mine claims that a greddy bov can fit a 1g flange, but can a 1g fit a greddy flange?

Probably not as the 1g flange is wider then the greddy flange.

 

[GsXtacY325]

so if it is not a direct fit, can the 1g bov be drilled to fit the greddy flange?

No. You will have to weld on a 1G flange or get a Greddy BOV.

No, the holes that you use for the greddy are too close, so when you drill out the holes on the flange for the 1g you have 2 open holes=boost leak.

Go to Vfaq under intake and click on the greddy bov install link......because my explanantion stinks

so technically it is possible, however the bov is prone to leaks huh. Well i suppose that makes no difference since i will only be using this bov for a few months if that. I understand what you are trying to explain though.



I have new shiny Dejontool intercooler piping already waiting to be put on, i'm just trying to figure out if i can throw a 1g bov (which a friend gave me) on my intercooler piping which is flanged for a greddy type bov which i plan on purchasing down the road, but not if i can get by w/ this free 1g bov for a few months time. hope that better explains my situation.

Thanks for the replies
