adzz22 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi had a few problems with my v2 impreza. basically my standard recirt valve started to leak as someone broke the pipe for the vac line so after a lot of ear ache find the right bov that'll fit my v2 inlet I got a baileys blow off valve after fitting which wasn't easy due to little space it's now on BUT it doesn't boost at all and ticks over lumpy. I've checked for possible leaks and im sure there aren't any. Anyone got any suggestions? Was running perfect till the standard recirt valve broke! and i cant find one anywhere!

bowthruster Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Are you sure all of the pipes are leak free?Soapy water then spray lightly over pipes will show any leaks.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adzz22 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I can try soapy water but im sure it's leak free. This is the first after market bov I've put on it only put it on today and soon realised something wasn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Did you put the bung in the intake pipe that should come with the dumpvalve ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe try removing the dump valve and blanking the hole and vacuum pipe to see if it idles better / holds light boost . Don't boost to hard or drive about to much with it blanked off , it's just to check the valve itself isn't leaking As it sounds like a vacuum or boost leak to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I was going to say something similar but putting the standard dump Valve back on :) then try that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
