BOV to VTA

[kbeck59]

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.

SOLD to Me ... YUP  YUP  !

Here are some high temp silicon caps that will work. 4DR found these a while ago, I can confirm they're a perfect fit.

Sorry im on my phone writing this. So this is the topic on making the bov vent to atmosp. Right now our solution is to buy the chair leg caps which will work for sometime. But i worry about long term reliability of the rubber. The heat cycles could easily damage that rhbber over time. So i am using the chair leg caps currently. And have continued looking for a better solution. Well tlit dawned on me that if you buy the hot pipes aka intercooler piping you would have to cap off the same holes in the intake tubes as you would to make the stock bov vta.. so that hot pipe must come with a good quality cap for the stock intake rubes.

Unfortunately they don't come with caps... here's the best solution i've seen courtesy 4DR and passed on by SHOmanMike84:

4DR's HotPipe require no capping because they are not plumbed for blow off .

So what you have to leave the factory bov hooked up to the rubber tube to the intake plumbing?  This remark was based in using the tial bov

If you are talking about the factory recirc BoV what to do with the tubing on the 2 BoVs is your choice... This is also true on the EPP marketed (4DR) hPs with factory flanges.  If you buy the Hotpipes with the YIAL BoV what SW says is right on.  However the intake side still has the nipples where the other end of the tubing went... those you want to cap to keep unfiltered air out of your engine and turbos.

Pics and easy instructions from DJE are here:http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=1935.msg27769#msg27769

What you do with the hoses attached to the factory BoVs?  ...your choice! ...delete or leave might make a difference in sound that's all.

Hope this helps.

Lol well thus has went way past my original purpose. I now see shomanmike has posted a solution that i was after. A quality silicone cap for the holes on the intake plumbing when you make the factory setup vta

I'll be by McMaster tomorrow afternoon to pick up 2 packs of caps. I'm keeping 4, so I'll have 6 extra.
Anyone who wants 2 send me a PM and I'll mail them out on Saturday.

All it does is make the blow off noise audible.  But it's cool.

I went ahead and used a K+N filter to cover the BOV. Fit like a glove.

Nice option for those wanting a bit more tech or colorful appearance (filter red)

Unfortunately bought two of these from Amazon and one of them is grey.
