HKS BOV universal mounting flange ?
Hello folks,
this isn't strictly scoob related.
I have a HKS Sequential BOV that I'd like to use on my shiney new XTR4 (4 weeks and counting). This BOV was originally used on my scoobs so it comes with a cast connector so you could mount the BOV close to the std TMIC.
I've removed the c clip and managed to get just the BOV part on its own.
The XTR4 uses a VAG 20v turbo engine (a la audi TT, seat cupra r, golf gti etc) but has a custom intercooler and hard pipe kit see picture below. I am fairly certain that Westfield don't use the regular recirc VAG bov and they have an outlet on the intercooler pipe to take the likes of a bailey bov.
What I need to do now is find a place that can sell me a universal mounting that I can weld onto the intake pipe on the new car.
I managed to find this in the USA which appears to be exactly what I'm looking for.

Do you know if anyone sells these in the UK ? don't really care if its pukka HKS or not.
The other thing I found was a universal mounting flange that would allow you to mount it in a similar way to bailey bovs etc (may suit the westi pipework a little better)
Does anyone have any experience of running the HKS bov on VAG engines ?
