Hey again people,
well i thought i would get my newley acquired BOV shot thru today, and wow, its some engineering in that little space. However I have a few flaws with the castings....
I couldnt get a photo any clearer due to the fil being to large for the viewer at work..
This is the HKS adapter to fit straight on to the hose, obviously on the outside its lovely and smooth, but what you cant see with your eyes is the pitting in the casting. Thats the black, dark patchy spots, soo if the pitting is very bad the cast is not very strong. I would of though HKS would have some sort of QC over these no??
And on the one you really have to squint, but yet again because of the casting procedure, either a drop, harsh knock or excessive pressure, i dnt know what, has caused a very small hairline crack. Not detrimental im sure, we let larger cracks, lack of fusion etc pass at work lol.
Other than that im glad i bought it off Nick, it sounds savage now, and wether its my mind or not, there seems to be less lag on the ct9 and virtually no turbo chatter. Or I just cant hear it now lol.
Enjoy Tyler.
