Default BOV NOT WORKING!!! noob question. HELP. =(



i just got everything on. and took it around the block for a test drive.

everything is cool. hear the turbo spool and everything. but i didnt hear the BOV

blow. i even took it up to 5K rpm. still nothing. tried adjusting the blow off valve a

couple of times. still nothing. im thinkin of couples of things. maybe im not

boosting? well problem why i cant see or tell if im not boosting is .. i dont have the

bolts for my waste gate to adjust the boost. btw this is how the waste gate look

like.

<A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Racing-Wastegate-Rx7-Supra-50mm-
JDM-JUN-HKS-
IHI_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ8004385 768QQrdZ1" TARGET="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1</A>

im missing those bolts that goes on top.

and this is how my BOV exactly look like

and maybe the other reason is the vaccum from the waste gate to TB is fawkd up.

whut do you guys think.

dont hate or try to flame btw. im just tryin to get my **** ryt.
