I made 2 thread asking about this it's because everyone who read the first one will think that I was asking about the hose being all twisted.

anyways

about my BOV, I brought the car new, and i think it's be that way right out of the car dealer. I have just over 10K on the car now, I'm sooo pissed right now, I'm worry about the damaged it's be doing to my car because the BOV being installed wrong. I'm thinking I should be it back stock and take it dealer.

Does anyone know what kind of damage will it done to my car for having BOV backwarded for this long?
thx for helping

It probably didn't damage anything, but it may have caused a lot of compressor surge that could have been battering the compressor (turbo inlet) this whole time.

It is definitely backwards. BhamEVOguy, you need to fix yours, too.

I fixed my BOV last night, it sounds a lot better now.
I have a HKS RS reloaded intake installed not that long ago, Do you think it'll be ok?

LOL - Warrtalon you crack me up Bro.

First day I came on this site, I saw a thread you posted in, about Searching before posting...
Since that day, I search first, so TY..
You actually learn more if you do it for yourself, rather than get it fed to you..

Oh BTW:
Do I win a prize for being the first to spot the BOV was on backwards, lol..

No, but I was in t his case. Why would you roll your eyes when it was plainly obvious?

SICK9, I was not specific, but when there are only 2 ways to do it, and one of them is wrong...
