10) The boost reference adapter has 2 ports and is supplied with a 6.3mm nipple, a 5mm nipple and a blanking plug. The 6.3mm  
nipple needs to be used for the BOV vacuum/boost reference. The 5mm nipple can be used if you want to hook up a boost  
gauge or boost controller. If you are only installing the BOV, then use the blanking plug to block off the unused hole. When  
installing the boost reference adapter, push the adapter onto the barb until it bottom out. The adapter might need to be rotated  
back and forth while pushing it onto the barb. Once it is home, with your fingers push the plastic collar back into the boost  
reference adapter so that the outer edge sits flush with the back end of the adapter. The plastic ring forms the surface for  
which the grub screws on the boost reference adapter screw into so that the barb is not damaged. Apply medium strength  
thread locker onto the grub screws and screw them into the plastic collar evenly. Make sure not to over tighten them as they  
will damage the intake manifold barb.  
(11) Reinstall the engine cover in the reverse order. Start the car and check for leaks or idling issues.  
TROUBLE SHOOTING

following checks will cure 99% of problems experienced with a BRA.  
-
Check the vacuum hose for splits, cracks, loose connection, kinking or any obstruction old or fatigued hose may collapse  
under vacuum causing an obstruction.

Check to see if the BRA is blocked or contaminated with dirt or debris.
