HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BOV  
1. Identify Turbocharger assembly

2.  
Remove charge pipe outlet secured by 2x 10mm  
nuts and hose clamp.

3.  
Remove turbocharger inlet suction pipe from  
air filter by undoing the hose clamps and  
securing nuts.

4.  
Unclip the emissions hardline circuit by lifting  
the coloured tabs and removing slightly out of  
the engine bay to allow for ease of assembly.  
There are multiple fittings in this area,  
including one under the turbocharger inlet pipe  
which is connected to the intake manifold.

5.  
Ensure the coloured tabs are completely lifted  
prior to removal of the lines or they will not  
move.

6.  
Identify this section of the emissions circuit  
hard-line, there is a 90 degree quick connect  
fitting with a PCV unit shortly downstream.  
This quick connect fitting is found directly  
attached to the intake manifold. This is where  
the signal for the BOV will be sourced from.  
Note: This is why it is required to “pull” the  
emissions line out of the bay slightly to aid in  
this modification.

7.  
Cut the OEM hardline tubing off the quick connect fitting by  
slicing down the tube in various positions and the fitting  
should fall out. Take care not to cause personal injury.  
Repeat for the PCV end of this line.

8.  
Cut 150mm of 5mm Vacuum hose and  
attach to the PCV fitting. Cut the hose now  
fitted on the PCV fitting to allow the 6mm  
tee piece to be as close to the PCV unit as  
possible, install associated clamps and the  
remaining 5mm hose onto the outlet of the  
tee piece which then is attached to the 90  
degree quick connect fitting. Utilise a small  
amount of lubricant to assist.

9.  
Attach the remaining length of 5mm hose to  
the outlet fitting on the tee piece and route the  
hose towards the BOV mounted on the  
compressor cover.  
10. Undo 3 bolts attaching the BOV to the  
compressor cover with a T25 torx driver.

1. Install your new Turbosmart BOV in the  
factory location. Please note that the BOV  
can only be fitted in one orientation. NOTE:  
Ensure that the BOV flange has both O-  
rings in place prior to installation. Use the  
supplied M5 bolts to secure BOV. Torque  
to 6 Nm (4.23 ft.lbs). Install hose onto  
BOV fitting

2. Install supplied 6mm plastic blank into OEM BOV signal  
line and clamp with original spring clamp. This is to  
ensure there are no leaks.

3. Reinstall OEM pipework and reattach quick  
connect fittings. Secure vacuum hoses  
appropriately in the engine bay using supplied  
cable ties and ensure no kinks are present.

14. Start the vehicle once it is safe to do so. Check for leaks. Consult adjusting your BOV sections for tuning.

ADJUSTING YOUR BOV  
INSTALL THE BOV WITH THE FACTORY SETTING FIRST BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENT.  
Adjustment to the BOV is made by rotating the cap. To increase the spring force on the piston, rotate the cap clockwise in the direction of  
hard as marked on the top of the cap. To decrease the spring force on the piston, rotate the cap anticlockwise in the direction of soft as  
marked on the top of the cap - CAUTION - Do not rotate the cap beyond the O-Ring groove.  
Start with the BOV cap at the maximum soft position (The indicator O-Ring should be completely covered by the edge of the cap)  
With the engine at idle the exhaust port should be closed off by the piston the piston should be hard against the seat and not floating  
or moving  
Free rev the engine and back off quickly, the engine should return to normal idle speed if the engine drops below idle or stalls  
increase the spring tension by one turn  
Repeat this process until the engine free revs and returns to normal idle speed  
Test drive the car and ensure that when decelerating or changing gears that the engine has minimal backfiring and no stalling. If  
backfiring is excessive or stalling is noticed then check all connections made during the installation, otherwise increase the spring  
tension  
MAINTENANCE  
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 compressor cover flange and the BOV. Make sure the supplied O-Rings are installed properly and  
the BOV Flange is secured on the compressor cover flange with the 3 supplied screws.  
Ensure the spring clamps are secured on silicon hoses and fittings.  
If the valve does not open properly or is slow to react, it could be due to the mapping of the drive by wire system from such things  
as aftermarket chips and engine tunes. Check with the tuner that the mapping of the throttle is the same as OEM.  
The valve may not open if the engine is just free revved. This is due to the drive by wire system. Check that the valve operates by  
driving the vehicle.
