Me Interested, Kemosabe!!
Turbosocks Vacuum Line Adapter for BOV/Boost Gauge, etc. starting from 40+ shipping!
4
I am going to get some flanges made pretty much like what RichieP did for his car for the Boost Gauge.
![]()
Reason being is I don't like how the stock solenoid works for the BOV. For people going to an FMIC kit or upgrading the BOV, there is typically no need for the two hoses anymore. You can't run the line directly to the source of the solenoid vacuum as it doesn't have the right boost/vacuum through the line to control a BOV or to operate a Boost Gauge.
For one, it is brittle (snapped off a nipple trying to simply remove the hose) and I like things mechanical.
This adapter will also work great for people wanting to easily run a boost gauge.
The only adapters that I could find online are to be welded directly onto a pipe and would require grinding down of the concave part FLAT to install as a MAP spacer as seen in the picture. These adapters are about 40-45$ shipped and would have no use to us without some machining.
I am looking to get the flanges made, drill and tap a hole in the side and install a nipple for a vacuum line. The installation of the flange would take approximately 5 minutes. Two 10mm bolts are all that need to be removed.
Would be looking at 40$ +shipping for the flange adapter kit (47$ +shipping with dual port and no BOV) which would include:
MAP Flange Spacer (3/4" thick) Aluminum
1/8" npt tapped hole with 1/8" nipple fitting installed
gaskets
bolts
Extra 5$ shipping to Canada.
For 93$ shipped, would include TWO ports on the flange, so you could run a dedicated BOV signal line and a boost gauge line AND would come with a tinted 7-color GlowShift Boost Gauge. Gauge will come with 6' of vacuum line which is plenty. One year warranty on the Gauge.
Extra 20$ shipping to Canada.

Also going to have the option to include a gauge pod as you will need to mount it somewhere. This will only be available if you also purchase the Boost Gauge.
12$ extra for this one:

THIS IS OFFICIALLY A FOR SALE THREAD!!
I need to get a good count of people looking to buy one of these. I have to order 10 flanges initially to get them into a separate production.
The manufacturer will just be manufacturing the flanges themselves and I will be drilling and tapping them to install the vacuum ports.
The manufacturer expects 3-4 weeks from when I order them to have them to ship to me. Once I have them, I am thinking about an hour turn around per piece or so from drilling to tapping, cleanup and installing the vacuum ports.
The flanges will be rectangular in shape, just like in my FMIC kit. Would cost more to have them machined to the shape of the MAP sensor and it really isn't worth it for a flange.

I will also be getting these up on my site in a few!

So, the stock hoses would work with a genuine HKS BOV without doing this right? As they have a softer spring than the universals?
Either way, I'm interested in this, as I want that boost gauge

You shouldn't have any issues, I'm the first to run the HKS SSQV IV and I've put over 2K miles with no issues.So, the stock hoses would work with a genuine HKS BOV without doing this right? As they have a softer spring than the universals?

this is what I got
I always wondered about how to run a boost gauge. Saw others had issues. But this looks simple, like all your other mods. This would be worth it just for the boost gauge alone. But when I install your FMIC could I still utilize this for the BOV provided by the FMIC kit?
I guess what I am basically asking, For those with your FMIC kit, do we need this still in order to run a easy install for the boost gauge?
sorry if I am making this confusing. You know how ADD minds are lol

I can make this work because I am turbosocks and you know I can just round up miracles in a box and ship it to you at a deal that you don't know why I am doing this

Need to see how many people are interested because I need at least 10 people to be worth it on my end.

Yeah, you could just get the 1 port or 2 ports (and I could include a cap for one port) with the Boost Gauge. I haven't finalized anything yet, so you could really order it anyway you wanted.
I may end up doing just 2 port flanges and include an extra cap for the people who only are going to use one of them. This is in the preliminary stages right now
