Default Installing a BOV

I have the flange to fit the 2g eclipse and a Greddy Type S. But i'm dumb and not sure how to attach the flange to the stock UICP. Theres a little lip there, but nothing to actually hold the flange to the piping. Any help or pics would be awesome!

Thanks guys

Well did you get the bolt on flange for the greddy bov? It should be pretty straight foward

I did. The flange to the BOV isn't my problem. I take the stock BOV out of the fitting in the UICP and have a nipple to put the flange on to. That i understand. But, what i don't understand is what keeps theflangeon that nipple. The flange has a little channel at the bottom of it and the nipple is actually 4 pieces that "squish" together to fit in that channel but there is no "lip" or locking ring or boot that holds them together. Is it just friction or am i missin a piece or what?

I think you are missing the lock ring. there is supposed to be one of those snap rings that goes into the channel

Ok. So i got the BOV on and it works. Now the problem is that i get either 12 lbs or 25 lbs. I have a MBC which should take care of that right? The problem with it is that its like its all or nothin. I cant get it to dial up the boost in any kind if a controlled manner. What am i doin wrong guys?

Well the MBC should have two vac lines. Where are each running to. Usually the best way to run it is have one end come from the wastegate actuator and the other comming from the compressor housing

Thats how its in there. Vac tube comes from compressor housing to the MBC and then it T's and one goes to the wastegate and the other goes to the actuator or whatever that is by the air intake. You cant put those boost controllers in backwards can ya?

Heres how the MBC is connected to the wastegate. I comes from the compressor housing to the MBC and then this is right after that. The other part of that T goes to the wastegate actuator. Is this right?
