hood-spacers??????????

[Tajabaho1]

sigh, I just installed my new upper intercooler pipe today with an hks BOV recirculated............


HOWEVER, there is one HUGE F'ing problem

the hood is hitting the BOV


I had the hks angled so that the it tip is pointing directly at the turbo inlet pipe so it would fit snuggly in the recirculation opening

which makes the ass of the BOV hit my hood


my question is this, anyone ever tried to use hood spacers to make this thing clear?

how the hell can I make this work..........

Got pics of the piping?

Spacers aren't a great idea as it lets the plenum in front of the screen suck in oily fumes and this feeds into the car when on the fresh air setting.

I'll take pics right now

Could you possibly post a pic of how everything is situated ? Once you do, I'll look at it and compare it to my car.

 

[MKIIISupraGuy]

as you can see by the last pic, the hood will not close all the way down at the moment, and if I run a vaccuum line, the hood will cut it clean off

take the c clip off the BOV and rotate it to where it lines up with the IC piping...

About the only suggestion I have is rotate it horizontal and run a loop from it's outlet back to the recirc port.

 

[Tajabaho1]

I guess that would be the only thing possible, god damn it I hate that stupud clip so baddddd

 

[SupraMario]

Umm, why don't you just angle it so its aligned with the pipe?

Not important at all given the velocity in that hose.
