How can I bypass my coolant from my turbo ... Notice you guys were talking about that, is it an easy thing to do, or a 3 hr project ..?
What have you done to your MSP today?

i used fittings and hose from home depot to make a coolant looop. 3/8" is the hose size.
well i have a corsport 3" alum rad so its kinda hard to say. i asked them what the correct cap to buy was and got that.

Would this be a decent BOV ? : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-H...ff-Valve-JDM-ALL-Turbocharged-S-/390364649190
as long as it's not a knock-off, but I don't know how to tell but the price makes me wonder

Yeah that the only reason. Why I ask, looks like a good deal, cuz I need a good BOV this time around since the last 2 were s*** and dnt let out enough air and I'm getting turkey all the time and sounds like s*** ... Those were both godspeed BOVs .... So was looking into Tue HKS since they seem to be reasonable and a good BOV as well...

Thanks , what did you use for fittings ?
2 3/8 barb to barb, 2 3/8 barb to 1/4" npt, 2 1/4" npt 90's and a 1/4 npt thread (its a small 1/4" threaded rod to connect the 2 90's) and 3/8 hose.
i could have just plugged both holes with less fittings but i didnt know if having 2 dead ends would be a problem or not so i played it safe.

It's a knock off... $80 for a brand new BOV that goes for almost $300. Sad thing is, the knock offs look almost identical, just have to pay attention.

Once you have a turboxs theres no need to save up for the HKS. Love my turboXS and theyre all of $130 brand new.

So we are def sure its a knock off ? Yeah I just want a good BOV that's affordible and get rid of that turkey sound lol sounds lime s***. So the turboxs h is decent, and reasonable as well...? Would that be something I could find on Ebay ? ....

for that price, yes, its a knockoff, plus its being sold from China.
this is the vendor I purchased my TurboXS from.

Kool thanks , what would I use a flange for this BOV .... Is it one that needs to have the flank welded onto the piping ...?

It comes with flanges, and yes, you will need to cut a hole and weld the flange...a welding shop shouldnt charge you that much.

Okay so its one that I would need to bring to the shop to.get welded on. Once I get my other gauge in and order the new BOV ill have my shop do the gauges and BOV all in one trip, so in the next few weeks . Need to get that coolant bypassed first I think... And need to get more couplers so I can put the FMI on also ... The list gets longer and longer.. thing my front driver side suspsention is going to, squeeks when ever u go over speed bumps ...
So i pressure tested my coolant system and it only holds 7 psi (shop manual says its supposed to be 17.8psi) . (Cue sad trumpets). There was one hose loose but once i fixed it i couldnt find one single hiss or spurt. So im guessing its going somewhere! Im gonna tackle the water pump tommorow cause maybe someway somehow its causing all of this.
oh yea and when i went to start it to run to autozone it started the first time with no stumble and isnt smoking now. WHAT THE HELL TONYS MAZDASPEED?!?!?! its not helping me troubleshoot at all.

probably just bushings, check the sway bar bushings, then the control arm bushings
