Gauging Interest: TMIC Adapters
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 10:19 pm
Hey guys,
So ive been trying to get rid of the worthless plastic BPV on my SS for a while now. I finally came across a FMIC adapter flange for an OEM WRX BPV so i was able to relocate it (since it would interfere with the TB cable linkage). One of my co-workers runs a machine shop on the side and gave me a quote on 10 of these adapters. It would be much cheaper for him to make up 10 instead of just two for myself. I noticed a major difference in partial throttle boost between the WRX BPV and the stock SS BPV.
They would be made of aluminum with the normal TMIC flange (like ones for aftermarket BOV's) but have a nice 1.25" barbed hose fitting (i would most likely be able to get him to make them w/ a .75" barb also).
The BPV would be relocated just below the TMIC between the TB and your relocated coolant tank. Ill try and get some pictures of the setup soon.
My question for you guys is how many of you would be interested in a pair of these (one for the TMIC and one for the BPV) for ~$65 shipped?
Im also looking into making kits w/ hardware, two hose sections, gaskets, and a 1.25-.75" reducer for those with stock intakes.
Just an idea i had, let me know if any of you are interested.
