Anyone use these for BOV mounting?
Anyone use these for BOV mounting?

Seems like an easy and clean way to mount one.
Well, the only welder I have access to is an arc welder and they dont make clean welds since Im getting polished aluminum pipe. I thought it would be cool too because you can use any BOV you want because if it has a different mounting flange, just change it out.
My megasonic come with a nice piece to weld to the charge pipe that has a grove in it that the seal goes around, then 3 allen set screws to keep it in place. Very happy with the construction of this piece.

Then I would have to learn to use it. To put one of these in the intake tract, its a grand total of about $60. If a Tig only costs $75, sign me up $20 for the piece
$22 for the 2 silicone couplers (4 ply)
$16 for the 4 T-bolt clamps
I had around 2000.00 in my TIG before the torch ever hit metal, that was a few years ago too. MIG is a different story, if you do mild steel you can get a decent MIG setup for 500 or so and MIG welding is pretty easy.
If I did, the good ol' arc welder would work.

Sweet! Im glad I got the aluminum flange from ya then because Im getting the polished aluminum universal kit from Ebay. Ill be in touch! Just waiting on my hot side so I can fab the cold.
Yeah, I meant MIG and mild steel. My friend got a used but great condition Lincoln 110V MIG welder, 2 wire spools, a full tank (small) and some extra tips locally for $105, so you see where I'm coming from. I didn't know it had to be aluminum.
Just trying to be creative... and I hate buying stuff I can make, and I end up with the tool and some new knowledge.

I have a few black 2.5ID couplers, but can get whatever you need dropshipped to you.
I usually have several hundred t-bolt clamps in stock; stainless steel with zinc plated nut.
