[Mk2] [Turbo] hkd bov adapter putty/silicone??

[steve07]

Ive managed to get myself a proper hks ssqv bov adapter to fit it onto my hotpipe, but where there is only one bolt holding it on ive got a bit of air leaking, the previous person who had this has fitted an o-ring and what looks to be some sort of putty compound or silicone to secure it to the hotpipe once its dry, but as hes taken it off of his i need to put some more on there to secure it to mine, anyone got any idea as to what is safe/best to use?

thanks

It's supposed to have an o ring there. Use the orange one off your factory dump valve

[steve07]

Yeah by the looks of it there is the orange o ring there,.but where the hotpipe has the recess for the bov to go in, they have used somethings for a better fit.

The one bolt design on the bov mount is a bad design imo! Too much chanceif air leaking at the top.

i put some marine stuff on mine, it'sa blue gel that doesn't harden.

[steve07]

Where can i get it from, and does it stop the air leaks?

[nickg07]

I used this type stuff

cant guarantee it will work but

I agree, the design is poor - mine leaked at the top (opposite the bolt) too.

I removed the mount from the pipe, bent it so the angle on the inside was just slightly more than 90deg and then refitted. This ensured that the gap at the top was sealed. It hasn't leaked in 3 years and I have no worries about any extra sealant/silicoln coming off and making its way through my engine.

To echo above comments, use the orange ring too
