Default HKS DV won't fit my FMIC

Nearly finished fitting my FMIC at last (hybrid)

But my HKS DV does not fit, looks like i would need a few hoses to adjust the size up to the big FMIC hole from the small DV.. any ideas?


I've heard i can run without a DV, aslong as it doesn't damage my engine thats ok with me?

If so how do i block the hole, its pretty big.....

Thanks.

What size is the hole mate in mm? Any pics? should be easy to make an adaptor to fit it. So im guessing your ic pipe has a takeoff for a d/valve that is much bigger than your hks one? is that what you mean?

Thats exactly what i mean, i don't know what the size is at a guess i'd say about 30mm ish...

Lots of searching has revealed that its safe to run no dv as i was told, so thats good. Just got to block it with something now....

Whether you should run without a d/v or not will depend on the turbo you are running.

I think we've already discussed it over the phone (iirc)?

Pop some pics up of your install

We did have a chat about this

Yesterday i bought some extra pipe from a local show and blocked off the dv (td05 16g)

Found a thread on here saying it was all good to do that.

Anyway blocked it off and the flutter was nice when i was going slowly and the car ran but, but the noise when i accelerated hard was rubbish.... was just a big flat sounding wooosh of noise. Was i supposed to get this noise?

So i spent the rest of the day making my DV fit again.
