Swamprat's HotPipe kit with Tial BOV install

[kbeck59]

My install will begin this evening ...

I do all of my own installs as I used to be a Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanic .

This is not a  "how to" but I will point out the differences between my install and BigMac's .

Thank's to BigMac for the super deal on this .

I had the upper pipes refinished in RED to go with my LOOK .

Despite the obvious color choice the main thing is my setup uses a TIAL BOV to replace the dual OEM BOV's.

4DR sent me new RED silicone connectors as well .

A few pics of the part's and I'll be back later with more info and installed pic's.

Can't wait to see install pics

That red is sweet looking.

 

[BiGMaC]

Very good!  Been waiting to see the scheme you got start to take shape.

What is the difference/advantage to the tial BOV vs the factory??
I like the tial and if ever ready for XSport that is what I like visually.... But what are the differences?

There is no proven performance advantage.  The TIAL is spring  (pressure) activated and the OEM BOVs are electrically activated.  If the rearmost OEM BOV is unplugged you throw a CEL.  Mike was working on a resistor to fix this, but ever finished when he traded his Flex.  So the rear BOV must be left plugged in and can be secured with a zip tie or something under the engine cover.  Considerations are discussed in my install post of factory BOV hotpipes here:

Otherwise they are both prove to prevent boost leaks even at tuned or upgraded turbo boost pressures.... and they are aesthetically sexy when you open the hood.  These are the only two reasons to do hotpipes currently proven.

What was your deciding factor to go with factor vs tial?

 

[JimiJak]

Damn, that's sexy. Can't wait for pics and video!!

 

[BiGMaC]

What was your deciding factor to go with factor vs tial?

It's not completely rational for me... I didn't want something potentially rattling around underhood, even though it has not been reported as a problem, and I just said to myself that there must have been a reason the designers and engineers did it with two that are connected to/controlled by the ECU..... I can't prove that it makes any other difference going either way except perhaps blow off sound.  Either way the system ends up VTA.  It's just a little PFfffft.  I know bpd went with OEM BOVs on his EBPP hotpies 'cuz we PM'd about it... maybe he'll chime in.

looks great!

 

[4DRHTRD]

Tial's look cool, that's about the only advantage on stock turbos, on ATP's I don't know if the stock e-bov can handle 20+ PSI of boost but so far BPD's have worked fine at 18psi.
I wanted an aftermarket BoV

Kevin... How did it go? ... Waiting... opcorn: We all wanna see the transformation!

Sorry Guys , wasn't able to get started last night as planned ...

8 & 10 mm 1/4 standard and deep sockets / 8 & 10 mm ratchet wrenches make for  a relatively easy install 
Stubby flat tip screwdriver as well .

Here are some pics  and I'll add a few tips and thoughts later .,..
None with Engine Cover ... hope to have it back soon ..

                                Front OEM BOV disconnected and loose wire wrapped in Rubber Electrical tape  and secured to main harness

        Lower IC to front Turbo Pipe was left black (clamp adjusted/retightened after pic) can't see it any with AirAid CAI installed

          front OEM BOV removed and plug and harness taped with rubber  electrical tape and attached to main harness

                Rear OEM BOV Plugged in hanging from engine cover post  until I figure out a way to unplug and not throw CEL ... only applies to  13+models

                              Inlet for meth nozzle temporarily plugged (not shown ) till I get proper fitting .

With the Tial BOV setup I am fairly certain My RX evac system will have to be mounted somewhere  else  , I am considering mounting it on the side of the AirAid CAI Box .
I wont know for sure until my Engine cover comes back

Marvelous engine bay you have there, sir!  Salute!

 

[BiGMaC]

Thanks for the pics!  Really is quite a transformation.  Excellent job with the front BoV securing method... really hard to pic out! With the cover the back one won't be visible.

 

[JimiJak]

That looks fantastic...excuse me while I wipe the drool off my laptop...


...there, that's better. Any progress with a video for the Tial BOVs??

Thnx!

Just FYI.... with the TIAL there is only one BoV locxated in the new location seen in SW's pics

Looks great!  I bet the hydrodipped carbon fiber engine cover would look really cool on there, too.

Yes it will when it gets here ... hopefully PCP gets my CUSTOM one to me next week .

I've decided to Go the Hydro Dip route for my Engine cover and am awaiting a reply from PCP .

Not 100 % Sure of the look yet but  will be RED with some type of print and the SHO and Ecoboost  lettering done in High Gloss Black [/b].

I got the quote from PCP and am going to Ship my cover to them  .
It will be a Hydro Dipped Carbon Fiber print in RED with High Gloss Black Lettering.
I already committed to this before 4DR started  his other Post .

I will put up pics when I get it back ...

Chris at PCP  just sent an invoice to me and and I paid him via PayPal .

I'm going to ship the engine cover off to him tomorrow .

It'll be a Custom one-of job and I'll be anxiously waiting to get it back .

I'll post pics when I get it unless Chris wants to torture me and post pics before they pack to ship back to me ! !
