Default HKS BOV in Essex

I’ve only gone and done the worst thing in the world an bought a 2nd hand HKS BOV but it has come with the 25mm pipe connector......I have an 06 WRX where the BOV connects directly to the intercooler......where can I get the flange from to change this over...? I’ve seen them on eBay but would rather get one from a shop or if someone is selling one......and please be gentle...I know the BOV will make my car run like a dog, I know I don’t get any performance, and I know I may be a chav but I just love the sound they make.....

ahhhh Zany, wish you'd mentioned this before, I've just received my Turbosmart BOV but would have preferred an HKS.

If you have to have one it's bailey for me. Had turbo smart sounded pants. And there's too many fake HKS ones out there. Just deresonate your intake pipe and you will get the same noise.

It's a vee port pro. It's only done 10 mins on a car. Only problem is this blanking plug I got for it is too big so I now need to find one a few mm smaller

The dumpvales mentioned are really popular, they sell. If you want to change from one to the other its quite easy someone will buy yours.

Surprised no one has come on about how you should use the original one etc

OP, to answer your original enquiry, you can get the adaptors from AS Performance.

It's best if you actually RING the proprietor (Alyn), though.....
