I used the search button and I still don't know where the damn blow off valve is. I looked all over the place and in my engine bay and I can't find one. Do ca's even have stock bov's? Or is mine just missing one.?

Im not sure but it probly wont look like what your thinking. Look for anything that isnt a straight tube and hose.

CA's never came with a BOV or bypass valve. You didnt miss it, it's just not there, lol.

Just keep looking, you'll find it :D It's inline between the flux capacitor and the supercharger.

Gotta be carefull with the flux capaciter, if you damage it whilst playing with your BOV, you'll in for a rude shock next time you hit 88mph

LMAO. You guys need to leave the poor noob alone. I'm supposed to make fun before you guys do! JK skoolymarm! But seriously, no, the CA didn't come with one. Thats the main reason that all the stock turbo's on these engines are shot.

if you knew about SRs like i did before the CAs.....seeing the stock bov off the intercooler would've been guess that the CA would be the same...

cool. i can take a joke, since i am the newbie and all. but i figured that was the case for the motors being poopy.

Make sure you align its timing converter with the Shelodney Rods. ;)
