HKS Blow Off Valve Boost Tube without the BOV?

[IHadToRun]

Can you tune the HKS BOV boost tube without the BOV? I don’t really care to run it since it messes with the afr.

Seen a few people with the stock rubber elbow to the intake manifold crack and break and I know HKS BOV kit comes with a solid pipe.

ah okay, I see what you're saying. So I guess it would work...from the pics it looks like that bov just sits on the new pipe they give

people crack and get boost leaks from the coupler that goes to the throttle body which the hks kit doesn't replace.

yes their piping kit replaces it.
although if you are using an intercooler that uses different end tanks on the intercooler (HKS/Wagner, etc) i am not 100% sure if it'll fit. You might be able to only utilize the hard pipe and the L shaped coupler but not the silicone hoses. Pretty pricey just to use only two pieces of the kit though.

if you are on motec sure.
the only correct way to run a vta bov is to tune your car on speed density and that's not possible on the stock ecu. (at the moment at least)
