BPV Question

Just installed the Forge BPV last night. Did not have a clamp to fit the smallest of the three hoses ( the cloth covered one ), so I used a wire tie. Pulled it super tight with a needle nose. Should this be sufficient with APR chipped boost? Thoughts?

I did a DOUBLE zip-tie job on mine

Mine's chipped as well <MTM>....but it's definitely not going anywhere...it'll be fine.

Funny thing about those pinch clamps...

...is that they are not sold separately on its own. You can get them at any local auto parts store and usually sold with varying (sp??) sized pich clamps.

Thanks guys! I think I'll go back and put a second wire tie on it when I do my next oil change.

I wouldn't use a wire tie. Just get a real small band clamp somewhere - I got one w/ my Bailey.
