Ok, 2008 SS/TC. Im buying piece by piece DeJon IC pipes form a friend. I have the hot side with HKS SSQV Anniversary BOV on the car now. I dont have the short ram on yet, and i dont have the cold side pipe on yet. Now, QUESTION IS: Why does my BOV not make any noise until I hit 15psi like 10 times? Its like it wont blow off when its "cold". NEXT: The BOV is sorta loose on the pipe. Would that have affect on the situation? If so then im going to order an o-ring, and a new ring clamp. Anyone with this problem or a quick fix/help, input is welcome, even if you find this hilarious and want to flame me for not knowing. I dont know EVERYTHING about my car still. Thanks guys! Hope i can get this issue resolved!

 

JB Weld fixes everything.

 

how do you have vacuum lines ran to your bov? and no your bov shouldn't be loose...

 

I do have vac lines, and its not loose to where it moves around, but you can move it by hand sort of easily. And JB weld does do work, but it will not be put on the cobalt haha. And I hadthis same bov on my civic. It was really really tight and was a bitch to put on.

 

He was asking which vac source tube you used?

 

I didn't read that well haha, I don't know, I will take pics and send it. My buddy has same set up and same vac and his works fine.

 

I was hoping with all the people on here with Turbo cobalts it would be easy to locate my problem. Once again I was wrong haha.

 

No offense but lack of information leads to lack of answers.
Like you said fix the BOV being loose and recheck your vac lines.

 

No no, I understand, I just figured maybe someone with the same issue might recognize the problem. Im going to go over my vac lines, and try to order the kit from HKS for the BOV.

 

Ok, I give up. I have everything tight, working fine, and all of a sudden out of no where, it just quits making noise and blowing off...Im about to trade my pipes for non BOV pipes. Or sell and re-buy.

 

can you post a pic of your set up?

 

I can try to post one on here. It will be a cell phone pic, but its about all i can get.

 

Here is what i've got. A buddy of mine has exact same set up, his works perfect.

 

The black "T" fitting is for the BOV vac. I took it all apart today, and tightened it up, made sure it was all leak free. It doesnt make sense to me? Unless my BOV is fucked?

 

do u have a block off plate or are u running the bpv also. if u are running the bpv still...T into the line going it n run that to the bov...

 

its the 1 comin off the left side of that little vacuum box thingy

 

I have no block off...Im guessing I fucked up lol.

 

Damn...I feel retarded. My BOV quit making noise, sooo Im guessing maybe I fucked it up? I dont know, I will try new vac line and see what happens.

 

Before you start saying that. Try what Chinelli said about the vac lines. Put a T into the vac line that goes to the stock BPV and then to your HKS.

I sent you a PM.

 

I was running a block off plate then I took it off. I haven't had any problems with my bov or bpv since. The way I told you to run lines is exactly how I have it set up on my car right now

 

When I get off work I will try that. For some reason its not making any noise now. So I. Hope this fixes that.

 

yea I don't know why that would happen...just lemme know whats goin on.

 

Ok, I changed out the vac set up. Makes a little noise but nothing like it did.

 

maybe ur bov is fuckd then man... im at a loss

 

I re-did all of the vac lines. AND now it flutters. Im going to try to mess with it a little more. Im getting irritated with this crap.
