TheMonaLisa Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So was installing this over the weekend but the aluminum spigot is more forward than stock location so my bpv hose won't reach. Anyone else have this problem? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/18/6y7uje4y.jpg Notice the bpv spigot is before the first elbow on the stock inlet and after the first elbow on the Perrin inlet. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/18/ebe2y8yv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That has been talked about before. I think guy's just buy a short piece of hose and a nipple to connect it up. One reason I went with a stock inlet. Makes life much easier. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

TheMonaLisa Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah was planning on going to home depo tonight and doing that. Surprised that a Perrin product doesn't fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Are you sure that Perrin is for the LGT? Mine isn't laid out in the same way as the one you have in the photo. Mine fits reasonably well and everything did fit as supposed to although mine is older and the aluminum BPV piece is clamped in rather than molded.

bigleben Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Probably a MY07-09 or a WRX08+ version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonaLisa Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah after researching they only make the legacy07-09 and wrx08+ inlet now. Need to extend the stock bov line or get a newer longer one from a model listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonaLisa Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Be nice if they told you that your bov hose would need lengthening or replacing before you bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted August 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2014 You'll also have issues with the PCV connection--note that it is vertical instead of horizontal as the stock hose is. A piece of prebent hose from the auto store can remedy this. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonaLisa Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ok thanks. Any pictures out there of these retrofits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I just bought a samco silicon BPV hose, the added flexibility made it able to mate up just fine. Don't remember having any issues with getting the pcv to hook up. Perrin should really do a better job of alerting consumers that this isn't a perfect fit.

jasejase Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Surprised that a Perrin product doesn't fit perfectly. You are? LOL If it's not OEM, im never surprised that the fit is shit. The PERRIN tmic also causes rubbing on the clutch slave cylinder for about 50% of users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chato Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I bought mine from Roger Clarke Motorsports in the UK. But I think there might (there should) be some domestic options by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of prebent hose from the auto store can remedy this. If the PVC connection is the port closest to the turbo then I had no problem connecting it either. Instead of cutting the rubber hose as the Perrin instructions say to do, I used tin snips to cut the clamp off the PVC hose connecting to the "white sensor plug" and just pulled it out. This way I kept the natural bend of the hose. Put an extra hose clamp to secure the stretched stock hose to the Perrin elbow. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chato Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 yup, now that you mention it, that's what I did with the pcv as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05sleeper Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yup bought my Samco Bpv hose from them in UK also and made it perfect with the new Perrin inlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Samco has a vertical nipple there while stock has a horizontal--just like shown in your pictures with the perrin. I also installed a brand new PCV assembly and no was was the hose going to make the additional 90* bend to face downward and connect to the Samco.

TheMonaLisa Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 So this is what I came up with. Cut the end of the stock BPV tube off and clamped on a preformed ~45* heater hose. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/u4evyjup.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/ry4evuby.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/segyhaza.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/y2u4yhyb.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/y6ymu4uz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
