Tial Q BOV strange issue.....

[Vegas Smith]

I have this strange problem. I bought an aluminum pipe with a tial flange already welded into it. However, it appears the flange that came with the pipe is too thick. You can tell when I compare it to the extra flange that came with the bov. The extra thick flange will not allow me to clamp the bov down, and now I'm pretty pissed off I payed $40 for this. Has anyone heard of this problem? Maybe they used an old flange?? Thanks

have you fixed this yet? it does look like, by the pictures provided, that the bov fits nice. you cant just use some tools to close the gap you got on that clamp? where did you get that pipe btw?

I did fix it. it required a longer bolt to reach the other side of the clamp. Apparently there is a difference between new and old version tials I'm assuming.

I bought the pipe off of treadstone performance I believe. I messaged them but of course I never heard back.

I bought a tial bov flange from treadstone as well.. Mine had the same issue. I emailed them and they said it looked fine, and that all tial vband clamps were a tight fit. I was only able to get it to work properly by using a longer bolt.

As you can tell, the flange that tial sends (obviously the real size) is thinner than the one treadstone sells. I would have made a bigger deal about it to treadstone but I bought the pipe in November and I'm just now using it.
