I think there is a guide to spotting fake ssqv bovs, hope you haven't picked one up?

What isnt fitting? Is it the flange onto the intercooler or the hks onto the flange?

rb5 stu

Even the fakes fit. lol

rb5 stu

It couldnt be simpler, two bolts onto the intercooler.

budweiser28

ive tried everything mate it just wont fit onto the intercooler
it cacthes on the pipework ive turned it round changed the flange tried everything im totally baffled

dabiscuit

Other than the logos and some other physical bits I didnt know what else was wrong with the fakes

budweiser28

well I have 2 triangle flanges and the round one that cam e with it and I carnt get any to fit no matter how much I try
there must be something im missing an extension or something because its not fitting this way

Got a pic of your ssqv? Should just bolt straight on

They look to be the wrong shape flanges to me.

rb5 stu

What pipe is getting in the way?

rb5 stu

Does the flange bolt on with the ssqv off it? Do the holes line up ok?

budweiser28

yes the flange fits on it own but when I try it with the bov it wont fit in the space

it seems to need to come out more as it wont fit where it is

budweiser28

don't know what else to try as there is no way its going to fit with the flanges ive got and there isn't any more on ebay that I haven't already got

the guy I brought it off said he had it fitted on his Subaru so I don't understand why it wont fit on mine

Here's the guide for things to check if it's a fake :

not interested if its fake or not mate my question is it wont fit and I don't know how else I can get it to fit as I have 3 flanges and cant seem to find any that fit

rb5 stu

Is it hitting the manifold?

budweiser28

yes mate there isn't enough clearance to fit it
but don't know what else I need as there all the same on ebay

ive tried turning it in a different direction but will only turn in certain places

budweiser28

is there anywhere in the west midlands that will fit this for me as I carnt fit it no matter what I try it wont fit in the space

Is the SSQV actually rotated at the right angle on the flange? If it's not it will hit things. As viewing the engine from the front of the car mine points to the left almost in line with the intercooler. If you are trying to fit it with the angle shown in your pic compared to the flange it won't fit!

budweiser28

ive tried angleing it in all postions mate and it doesnt seem to fit
with the 1 flange it will only rotate a certain way i can get it to fit with the other flange but the hole doesnt sit right and just leaks im totally baffled is there another way of fiting it where the bung goes but then what abou the orignal dump valve can you leave that on?

im out of ideas now everyone says its 2 bolts but ive tried everything and i wont fit

Can't fit the dump valve on the outlet pipe, doesn't work like that. Has to be fitted on the intercooler using the 2 original bolt positions.

Something doesn't sound right with your adaptor as mine allows the valve to rotate 360 degrees and does not leak in any position.

i dont seem to have that flange

where do i get one like that from as all the ones on ebay i have and dont seem to fit

These are some pics of mine fitted with the genuine flange. Think all the aftermarket flanges you are using are not pushing the dump valve far enough away from the intercooler pipework then.

Think my flange also pushes the dump valve up at a slight angle away from the inlet pipework.

Not sure where you would get a genuine one though. Sorry.

Mr.Two

Find a local fabricator and they should charge you about 1/2 hour labour plus metal (about £5) to make a spacer plate. Then just get slightly longer bolts if necessary and whack it on!

budweiser28

wouldnt know where to start mate as there isnt any round here to what i know surely there must be something i could by for it to fit

thats what i need though as it will push it out so it will fit

in your foto there are two plates shown - are they different fittings or is it possible one or other could be used as a sandwich plate to extend the dv out so it clears the pipework you speak of ? - just an idea - ie use both plates
