I have a used GReddy turbo kit. What is the thing installed next to the BOV?

Good question.

Which is a good question, where I got it, or what the thing is?
BTW, I got it off eBay from a guy in Mobile, AL.

looks like a tap for a boost gauge.

the thing is a fitting to take a nylon tube - could have been for boost controller maybe

how much was the kit - i've been looking for one for ages ....

I guess you're just not looking hard enough.

I got the kit for $1900, which included a new GReddy RS BOV. The kit was missing the air pump hose ($50 from mysql101) and I'm having the bearings replaced by MazdaManiac ($50). Also, it didn't come with engine management, and the original cheap couplers are going to be replaced.
So, here's a breakdown:
$1900 kit
$50 air pump hose
$50 bearings replaced in turbo
$930 for used Interceptor-X
$150 for new couplings
$50 for new DEI fiberglass exhaust wrap and silicon spray sealer
FREE - tons of fiberglass splinters for not wearing gloves
= $3130 for a decent set-up

When I get all my peripherals I plan on starting a new thread to list EVERYTHING I've had to get.

Back on topic... is the concensus that it's a fitting for a boost gauge or controller?

good deal, but I would highly recommend holding off and buying jeff's turbo. It's really that much better. Especially since it's a pain in the *** to install the turbo/manifold under the car. You don't want to be pulling it next year because the seals are going and need to fix it again.

also, get a boost controller. It'll single highhandedly provide the biggest power increase of anything you'll buy for $300.

I really, really want his turbo, but I think to do that one right you have to do bigger injectors and the fuel pump upgrade, correct? In effect it's almost doubling what I've already spent (which is starting to make the wife agitated).
The plan is to do the GReddy for now and upgrade next year.

mysql101

that's a good plan too. as long as you can uninstall and install the new stuff.

How about

"For boost *whatever*"



Hmm, or maybe the pipe is having too much pressure they need some place to go ...
