Default Incon BOV Question

For those of you with Incon kits, has anyone had a BOV flange welded on the '***' pipe?

I am thinking of getting a BOV and I wanted to know what brand/type you went with. Also, what material is the '***' pipe made out of?

Thanks,

Scott

No BOV, but I believe that the material is the cast version of 6061-T6 aluminium.

It should not be made of 6061-T6 since its not used for casting. Probably a 300 series aluminum.

But it is aluminum, correct? I want to get a flange welded to the '***' pipe for the BOV.

Thanks,

Cool,

Any recommendations on a good low-boost (4-12 psi) BOV?

I am thinking of a Greddy Type S based on what I have read and what the Mustang TT guys are running.

Thanks,

Scott

Yes it is aluminum, just tell them its cast they will get the right welding rod to work with it.

IF the BOV is used for import cars then you will want something that is like a boost range up from the boost range you are running. We flow a lot more a the same boost level than an import so a race sized one would probably work well. I have no looked at the specs on them so I dont have any real recommendations.
