Go to Autozone or Advance Auto Parts and get a universal radiator hose that is the diameter of the BOV opening.

No issues. RRM has probably hundreds of these on the market.

This is correct. All it does as function as a valve to vent the buildup of pressure in the intake track from the turbo still building boost after the throttle body closes. Its a mechanical item and can be mounted in any position/orientation.

So i have a couple issues i will be trying to tackle today.

1. It seems my lower oil pan is leaking... WTF? i didnt even remove it? But there is oil buildup around it and it is dripping. So I may remove it and re rtv it and reinstall it.

2. Both ends of my oil return line are leaking. The fitting where it meets my pan is leakin like a siv. So i am going to put the JB weld on it to stop having it leak. I hope the return where it meets the turbo is fixed today also, i had replaced the gasket but the dammed thing broke when i tightened it. So i bought another and i will be reinstalling it today.

Anyways, to answer the question, could it be a fuel leak? A guy here had his entire car destroyed because of a faulty fuel line (at least that's his story) that burst and sprayed fuel all over his engine after he installed a supercharger.

can you say void warranty

i hope insurance covered it

Hey mods can we merge all this with my other two thread in forced inductions..

I have a new issue guys. I got it all done. My oil return fixed and then, MY RADIATOR IS LEAKING OUT OF THE TOP PASSENGER SIDE. Right where the metal meets plastic.
