HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BOV











NOTE: Be sure to mount the Kompact Dual Port in the orientation shown above compared to the standard BOV.

BLANK PLUG: The Dual port is supplied with a blanking plug for the vent to atmosphere side of the BOV to convert the BOV to full
recirculation mode. Simply unscrew the trumpet and screw in the supplied blanking plug. Alternatively, the blanking plug can be used to
convert the BOV into full vent to atmosphere mode by installing the blank onto the plumb back side.

General installation guidelines

Remove the engine cover, common to most European vehicles.

Locate the factory BOV. Undo the hose clamps holding the factory BOV to the boost and exhaust hoses.

Remove the factory BOV noting the positions of the boost hose and the exhaust hose. You will have to fit the Kompact
DP BOV with reference to the boost hose and exhaust hose.

Remove the vacuum/boost line from the Factory BOV nipple.

The Kompact DP BOV will be mounted in the space where the factory BOV was sitting. Ensure that the mounting position will
not be effected by the engine moving when under load.

The Kompact DP BOV must be mounted in a position so that it is sheltered from any contamination, i.e. away from where it
could be splashed or the direct path of any air borne debris.

Ensure that the factory hoses on which the Kompact DP BOV will be fitted to are in a good condition, not worn and without
any tearing.

Connect the factory boost hose onto the Kompact DP BOV

Connect the factory exhaust hose onto the Kompact DP BOV

Tighten the hose clamps supplied on the factory hoses to secure the Kompact DP BOV.

Connect the factory vacuum/boost line onto the Kompact BOV nipple. If the factory vacuum/boost line does not fit, connect
the appropriate reducer & 5mm vacuum hose. Push the exposed end of the reducer into the factory vacuum/boost line and
connect the 5mm vacuum hose onto the Kompact nipple.

The supplied 5mm silicon vacuum hose is of good quality – inferior hoses can be affected by heat and could eventually crack,
split or collapse. This would cause the Kompact DP BOV to leak and may cause poor fuel economy and lead to serious
engine damage.

Minimise the length of the vacuum hose where possible – the longer the hose, the slower the Kompact DP BOV will respond,
this may have a dramatic effect on the performance of the Kompact DP BOV


IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETTING THE SPRING TENSION

Adjustment to the BOV is made by rotating the cap. To increase spring tension rotate in the direction of hard, marked on the top of
