Re: How do I install a bypass valve?

I think its just straight swap, its should be by or close to your turbo. looks the same or similar. just some clamps. I had a link but can't find it, sorry.

never did the swap, but here's some info

are you having problems locating it? If you look down your engine bay on the turbo side, you should be able to see it. It's kinda hard to see from top, since it's on the bottom of the bay, so if you're doing the swap, I suggest jack stands or ramps.

as for the swap, it's just straight forward.

Just did mine...

With the front of your car up on ramps, remove the plastic under belly that protects the under side of your trans and engine. Lying on your back under the front of your car the BPV is on your right above a very large rubber hose. Make sure before you remove the clamps you have new ones for the TT valve (you end up destroying them getting them off). Remove the clamps and pull like hell, this is the hardest part, I struggled 10-15min before the little turd came off. Now put the TT valve on and clamp it tight. Bolt the plastic under belly back on and thats it.
