Got a new BPV which i'm looking to fit at the weekend. Looks fairly simple in principle but maybe a bit of a ball ache to get to?

Anyone got any advice when fitting it? Or has anyone made a guide? :thumbup:

- Remove IC
- Remove IC to inlet manifold horn...makes it easier
- Remove bypass valve

Dunno. Only took about 15 minutes (I have put a jubilee clip in place of the snap on clip(Evil thing sent from hell))

yea stock up on jubilee clips.
need
30torx for ic clamps,
7mm socket,
8mm socket,
10mm socket,
11mm socket and spanner,
pliers
flat screwdriver
and maybe a pozi screwdriver just for good measure
1/4 ratchet set makes access real easy
and a cheeky bit of spray lube like wd40 makes slipping all the pipes into each other much eaiser
hope this helps
