Resolved 2G Blow off valve replacement recommendation

[margowski86]

After replacing the starter/ battery I broke up the intake line knob to the blow off valve… I cant seem to find a used stock one. The car and motor are all stock. Does anyone have a aftermarket replacement recommendation? Any additional lines I might need? Any installation steps as well?

You’re not alone: 2G Turbo bypass valve

Consider posting a WTB ad in the Classifieds or your Regional forum. I’m sure someone will have one sitting around to get you fixed up.

If you want to keep it stock, you might be able to tap the hole with the broken barb, and thread in a replacement - if you are careful. Otherwise almost any BOV is better than the stock plastic one that leaks when it works perfectly.

I think there is an EVO BOV that fits in the stock upper intake pipe. Most people also replace the upper intake pipe, and have a flange welded in to accommodate a 1G BOV or anything else.

Stock 2G BOV

Stock plastic 2G BOV. Removed years ago (probably 2001...). Figured someone might want it. Price is OBO and includes shipping within reasonable distance.You must be registered to see element.

As @Justin DuBois mentioned, the Evo 8/9 bypass valve would be a better direct replacement option. The Evo 8 MR had the metal ones, and all Evo 9's had the metal valve as well. You can get them used here, EBay, and on Evolution M forums for around $60-80. If you're after a new one, many of the supporting vendors have them available.

Part # 1545A001

You could also go with a 1g style, but will need an adapter to work using an OE configuration.

Installed on a stock configuration 2gb:

Evo one for stock look, everything else is going to require an adapter.

Also if you are planning to upgrade intercooler piping to metal in the future nearly all intercooler or piping kits require using a Greddy Type S blow off valve. Cheap copy cat blow off valves with purple tops are typically around $30 and an adapter to use them on your stock piping is probably $20

If the car is always going to be stock then go with a lancer evo 8 blow off valve, if you’re goal plan is to have a front mount then now is the time to get a greddy style blow off valve

Also Tomei Japan sell a stock replacement style reinforced BOV for EVO 1--6 and EVO 7-9. I think their EVO 7-9 one has metal housing.

Thanks all, ended up drilling it out and inserting a motorcycle brake level bushing in it with epoxy. hose crimped right back on and works as well as it did.
