They don't sell over the counter, I had to visit them to get bits that were missing in my kit.MRT certainly would fit it for you as they are a rally workshop, and as I said in my earlier post, they predominantly work on the Rex but would have no trouble fitting the BOV to a T.Despite what you read above, it is an extremely easy thing to fit, about 20 minutes work with only two spanners and a pair of pliers... and swearing, and cussing, and questioning the marital status of parents of Ford engine bay designers!Seriously, it is simple, you don't cut hoses and despite my arguments about fat fingers and inability to adjust it once it is in. I did a fair bit of adjusting tonight to mine and once you have washed the oil off your hands, you can actually rotate the ring with only a little difficulty. I have adjusted mine down to the second lowest setting as it scares the hell out of my passengers when it goes off. Sounds like a bloody freight train going past. Matrix, seeing that you are in Sydney, drop me a PM if you like and we can arrange to fit one to yours if you care. I am located Syd nth shore.

Only had it on a couple of days now. I like the half vent setting, a damn fine reminder that you have a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running about 12psi and it scares the old ladies that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got one of those two, but the std 6 psi the car is running isnt enough to give you a whistle, so I took it off :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
