bov recirculated TurboXS?

[garrek11]

how do you know if the BOV is recirculated right or not? i have a TurboXS bov that has one hose that has a (t split) one end runs to i think the bottom of my intake right next to the turbo and the other runs to the intake manifold is that correct?

I beleave what you're trying to say is why is your MBC "T" off to the BOV line?

Idk all i know it that off the top of my BOV it has one hose that comes off then it "T's" off and one hose runs to the bottom of my air intake and the other runs to my intake manifold. i just need to know if that is correct for recirculating the BOV ### thats the way i bought it. im trying to figure it out ### i bought a AFPR and reset the ECU and for about a day the car has awsome power then after that day it goes back to being little power in the low end.

Not quite sure what you're asking. Maybe a picture? I hope thats not the BOV that uses the three hex screws to mount to the piping?

ya that piece of crap thats what im talking about should i throw that thing away?

My friends supra came with one, we could never get the seal to stop leaking. Yes, you should throw it away. But maybe some one will buy it off craigslist.

That bov is not able to be recirculated and does typically leak.

The line you're looking at is the vacuum line that tells the bov when to open and release the pressure. A recirculation tube will be big and run from the bov to your intake pipe.

A stock 1g Bov will do just fine its cheap and holds up great!
