    Redscort build thread

    I don't have any pictures up here so I thought I'd put a few up! Planning on finally tearing into it this summer when I'm not in school. Going turbo!

        I got the bov mounted on the piping...here's the flange. I cut off the ridged lip.


        Here's the inside of the blow off valve with rubber o-ring.


        Here's the fitment. I measured the outer diameter of the flange and it was like 31mm and the inner diameter of the bov was like 32mm so it was absolutely perfect fitment.

          Got my wideband (finally!) it was hard shelling out that much for a gauge...and the boost gauge. Both Sport Comp autometers

          Intercooler and piping w/bov all mocked up...same ic piping Ace is using.

            well hot damn! Sounds like you've been busy lol, I like everything I see so far! I'd just be careful with that BOV style, they've sheared themselves off a few times, and one of our members experienced it as well....I'm sure he will post what happened to him though lol.

            When do you plan to have her boosted by?

              Thanks man!
              Well I planned on starting it this last summer, but it didn't pan out so I'm shooting for next summer. It's my daily driver and I'm in college full time so it's hard to plan. btw-what do ya mean by sheared off? :/

                          Here's the exact one I got off ebay. I bought both my gauges from this store...
