Default BPV to Before Throttle Body

I Have a few clearance issuses with my BPV.
I have a Greedy FMIC with TurboXS H25 BPV. The head of the BPV would hit the A/C compresser if it was mounted correctly. So i have it reversed. My Idea is to buy this adapter, and move the valve to right before the TB. and run 1" hose to the stock BPV inlet prior to turbo.

And Cap the "factory location BPV"

This should also remove some stress from the turbo(BPVs are more effective at the TB than before the intercooler.

Any ideas?<ul><li><a href="http://www.forgemotorsport.com/products.asp?cat=tun&amp;product=FMTP052A">Diverte r Valve Tee</a></li></ul>

Default My setup's not quite stock, but I think this is what you're after......

Default Yes that almost exactly what Im gonna do.

What size is the hose to the TB,

I was gonna Cut the Factory hose and straighten out the air path with the Tee, The GReddy Pipe exits in the Factory Location.

Also Im gonna use the factory hose and use a pipe like the one you have.

at the same time Im gonna buy the samco intake pipe.

any recomendations

Tubing's 1" ID, I think. If you need 1" silicone hose, let me know.

Default i had the same problem...

i have the EvoMS FMIC with the Greddy Type S BOV(recirculated). I cut up a 1"ID heater hose in pieces and moved it to where the smog pump used to be. It's a tight fit. But I do want to relocate that next to the TB...but I don't know where to get the parts to do so. I know they have a relocation kit for the TTs, I just wish they have one for the A4.

Default Re: i had the same problem...

When I get done I'll put out a list, on this thread, of what to get.

For the most part the forge Tee, and section of 1" dia Pipe with ridges on the end. a couple extra hose clamps, a block off plug, a few zip ties, black paint for the pipe.

The rest should be able to be reused parts from the orignal setup up.
