have fitted 2 pw stg1 kits to cars and both have run richer so all good ,but it really is a waste of money to go a good cooler set up without a tune.

add a set of injectors to it and a tune you'll be laughing.

yeah definitely need a tune dude. my car was chuggin all over the joint at full boost (when it was stock) just when I fitted the cooler. The AFRs were ridiculous. a nice tune, modified or aftermarket exhaust, injectors and u are set!!

That BOV is installed correctly for a stock bosch BOV. They feed in from the side and vent out the bottom. They need to see vacum to open so you need to hook up a vacum line to get it too work

Are you sure as the B series through to the FG have always been installed like these pics-

Which means the BOTTOM of the bypass valve is on the boost pipe side and the side of the bypass valve vents the boost back through the intake again (or air). First pic therefore is back to front or have I had to many beers again and or Ford have screwed up another thing (plus Chris from Rapid as its his pics in the second one)?

Cant comment on the FG but, as for B series yes quite sure mate. As per diagram taken from b series manual page 303-04b-4.

Boost pressure flows in from the side and out the bottom. Designed and installed this way too allow air to bypass the cooler and associated pipework when the car is cruising in a low load high vacum state.

Cheers for that pic. I have had mine on like the rapids photo for 3yrs on my BA. It must work either way then as it still sucks under vacuum and seals under boost then vents once hard (or softish) off the gas with the auto?

I'll check the part numbers on both models on the 15th as both ray076 FG xr6t and my BA get tuned that day by blueboost so can check and ask Dave then and report back.

if they are plumbed with the boost entering from the bottom and venting out the side the can bleed boost when under pressure. the diaphragm is designed to prevent any leakage until vacuum is applied too the top of the diaphragm, the boost pressure on the diaphragm with the side entry increases the sealing pressure on the diaphragm.

Don't have a pic as I'm on my phone. But it should be right up near the firewall. A small steel nipple facing upwards. There should be a cap or a blanked off vacuum line on there if no bov was connected before. Its real close to the end of the fuel rail
