IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR BOV

•
Please thoroughly read and understand these instructions before commencing this installation.  
The thread on the cap for the vacuum source is AN#3. The standard swivel nipple can be changed to an AN#3 fitting if desired. Torque to  
nm and use blue Loctite.  
Make sure that the engine is cold before installing this product.  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
-
Turbosmart recommends that your Blow off valve (BOV) is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.  
GENERAL NOTES  
-
-
-
-
-
Ensure the engine is cool before you begin work  
Ensure the mounting of the BOV will not be affected by the engine moving while under load  
Ensure all vacuum tube being used is free of damage  
Ensure all connections are secure – using cable ties, hose clamps, screws and thread sealant where required  
Minimise the length of the vacuum hose where possible – the longer the hose the longer the response time which can have a dramatic  
effect on the performance of the BOV.  
-
The BRA comes with 2 nipples and a blank – if you would like to use one of these outlets for a boost gauge or other auxiliary item  
requiring a MAP source you can do so (usually the nipple with the smaller outlet for additional devices).

7.  
Install the Turbosmart BOV in place of the stock BOV  
Using the 3 M6 screws included in your kit use those  
to secure the BOV as the lengths may vary with the  
OEM screws.  
2.  
Remove the wiring connected to stock BOV by the  
brown plug – there may be a clip or method of  
securing this, ensure it is free to remove to avoid  
damaging stock components.  
8.  
Connect the supplied vacuum tube to the nipple on the  
BOV and route safely through the engine bay toward  
the MAP sensor – secure with cable ties where  
required.  
3.  
Strip back 15mm of conduit covering the wires of the  
OEM solenoid plug. Install a JOW clip-on connector  
onto each wire, POLARITY is not important.  
9. Undo the fastener for the MAP sensor and install the  
BRA that has been fitted with nipples and blanks – use  
a medium strength thread sealant (such as Loctite) to

MAINTANCE  
Turbosmart recommends that the following maintenance procedure is carried out at six monthly intervals or at higher intervals if the  
environment is very dusty or wet. Regular maintenance will ensure that your BOV is operating at its peak performance and will extend  
the working life of the product.  
-
Remove the cap of the BOV by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction – CAUTION, the cap is under spring force, remove  
with care!  
-
-
Carefully remove the piston and thoroughly clean the piston and the bore of the BOV  
Inspect the surface of the piston and the bore of the BOV for scoring or excessive wear, silver coloured marks on the bore  
are an indication of excessive wear  
-
-
-
Check the Base O-ring and the Cap O-ring for any damage – replace if necessary  
Lubricate the bore and the piston with Uni-Glide™, hydraulic oil or sewing machine oil – DO NOT use grease or viscous oils  
Re-assemble the BOV in the reverse order  
TROUBLE SHOOTING  
The following points should be checked if you find that your engine is dipping below normal idle, stalling or if the BOV is functioning  
poorly.  
Please note: the following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced with a BOV.  
-
-
Check the vacuum hose for splits, cracks, loose connection, kinking or any obstruction – old or fatigued hose may collapse  
under vacuum causing an obstruction.  
With the engine running remove the vacuum / boost hose from the nipple in the cap of the BOV, there should a loud  
hissing sound. The engine should idle poorly, double check by covering the end of the hose with your finger – otherwise  
the hose is blocked.  
-
-
-
Check to see if the BOV is blocked or contaminated with dirt or debris.  
Ensure that the vacuum / boost source is not shared and that the vacuum source is directly from the inlet manifold.  
Check the seal between the intercooler flange and the BOV. Make sure the supplied gasket is installed and the BOV  
Flange is secured on the intercooler flange with the two factory bolts.  
-
-
Ensure the spring clamps are secured on silicon hoses and fittings.  
Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information of your engine configuration  
and photos of installation.
