Either you can request that they send them (you are in Hawaii.....) or go to the local hardware store to source some bolts. It might be easier just to source the bolts yourself and pay the 10 bucks IMO

Bringing this thread back!
Can I request the BOV with a new kit, rather then forking over more $$$?

I'm gonna bump this since I'm curious... Has anyone else had any experience or want to share any impressions about this BOV?

Cross posting and bumping an old thread, but I'm wondering if my fuel trim issues are due to the BOV. Anyone have logs of their car with of the OFT300+ this BOV that can share with me?

Setup:

Open Flash OFT300 package
Vortech supercharger (standard pulley)
Open Flash Header
Stock catback
Vortech Maxflow BOV

Logs: http://datazap.me/u/sirsol66hotmailc...data=1-2-10-11

Car is showing very very high fuel trims (25+) at idle and low RPM areas. Car is running completely fine but the trims are not settling. No knock at WOT pulls.

Exhaust has been leak checked and no issues. I will leak check the intake side this week.

One thing I noted is that the BOV is completely open at idle and moving A LOT of air. I never ran the normal vortech bypass valve so I am not sure how the maxflow compares with it. Can this be contributing to the high fuel trims?

I'm surprised your car will even run in this state. You need to adjust the spring with the threaded rod on top of the valve. It should not be open at idle. It should only open when it senses boost on one side (the side connected to the charge pipe) and vacuum on the other (nipple) side.
