Guys, this is especially urgent for you guys who know the greddy type s bov. Anyhoo I was headed to the 1/4 mile track to run the beast and I adjust the bov to full hard... For some odd reason, it felt like i crossthreaded it maybe? even though I didn't. The nut also wouldn't lock back into place (the one you have to loosen before you adjust the bov).

On my run, at the top of 2nd and 3rd... i heard really bad sounds from the bay, turns out, the whole adjustment screw got shot off the bov. I found it sitting on the intake plenum this morning, and it's not broken/ stripped as far as i can tell, but it wont exactly screw back into the bov.

Help me figure out how it works/ and if I can replace just a section without dishing out a few bills for a new bov.... Thanks in advance...









P.s. I owned a 2002 Stang GT with the boost leakage

 

well, i found the remains of the thread that were in the bov, on the adjustment screw, so it's a clean break. I'm gueesing I should helicoil the bov now?... I'm open to suggestions

 

I'd buy a new one.

Other than that I dunno.

 

well i ghetto rigged it... i didnt have 180 to drop like that. I took a larger size bolt and forced it down there

 

Did you get the rest of the original screw out first?

 

yeah when the bov shot the adjusting screw out, it went out clean, and took all the threads on the top out with it

 

i would have retapped it to a bigger screw size and then put the screw in that bish
