The only reason they don't VTA from the factory, is to keep the EPA basterds happy. So if you VTA you must hug a tree once a week to make up for it.

Lol sorry quoted the wrong person.

Started this mod today and have a few questions.  What do you do with the hose that you disconnect?  Does it just hang there?  Do you remove it completely?  Will this suck elements into your engine?  Do you need to install an air filter? 

 

[crash712us]

you have to remove and cap off.

 

[pejohnson]

you have to remove and cap off.

Not sure what you mean....  I understand where to cap.  I'm wondering about the other side.  Did you leave the hose?  Remove it?  Do you need a breather or filter to keep elements from getting into the engine?

It releases air, not intakes air. Its pressure released, so i am not sure how it would intake any dirty air

I believe the cap is for the intake side, Please correct me if i am wrong. and the blow off valve just release the pressure into the air.

Remove the hose and cap off the recirculation area the side of the tube not connected to the blow off valve. That is the area that sucks the blow off valve does not suck elements in but rather releases it appears that's my understanding

There's no adverse affects in doing this? I seem to remember from my Subaru days that those cars don't like getting away from the recirc BOV's...messes with how the car runs.

Maybe so, but those are MAS base tuned cars. However out cars our MAP based speed density tuned.

Did my front blow off today got to get another hose clamp to finish the back one

 

[Snacks15]

It's really easy.  Just remove the hoses from the BOV to the intake.  The front is super easy.  Sqeeze the clamps and wiggle the tube off.  The back, I just took the end off the intake.  Then, pop on the caps.  Your done. 

sounds like a 20 min job lol

 

[REDSHOCGO]

It's a real pita to remove the back hose off of the bov valve

 

[panther427]

Ya the rear is a pain.. I unhooked the front BOV sensor and rubber connection so i could rotate the pipe and get better access to the rear clamp that is on the BOV.. if you only want a little noise fluff just cap the front BOV if you want more noise do both front and back..


Also these rubber chair caps do work but i would be much happier if we can find a proper high temp cap.

What cap does the hotpipe kit have

What cap does the hotpipe kit have

I assume you mean the caps for the nipples on the turbo piping (the ones that allow recirc instead of VTA).  Hope I got your question right.

Here's the pics of the kit: http://shop.ecoboostpowerparts.com/Ford-Flex-SHO-Lincoln-MKT-MKS-Hot-Pipes-EB-HotPipes.htm

There are no caps I know of as part of the kit (I have a coated stock mounting version ordered)… The BoV tubing comes off the mounted BoV itself for the 2 stock BoVs or is straight VTA with the single TIAL BoV.  I never discussed caps with Mike… I also own the TIAL version currently and plan to sell it after I install and test the new ones… I personally just wanted a little quieter turbo blow off.

The recirc plumbing is not a part of the hot pipe kit.
