ive got a little idea in my head that includes using bailey dv26s they might not be the first name that pop in your head for bovs but they have been a long standing favorite in the ford scene for years now. the fantastic thing about them is they are common as muck.

prices for a brand new one range from 75 to 90 quid each. so not cheap cheap but far cheaper than hks or equalivent.

the base is 25mm and they can be adjusted upto 60psi.

looking about you can pick them up singly very cheaply. less than £30 each.

my question is this aside from buying a matching pair of dv26s and bunging up the recirc line and fitting them to the correct line, what else would i need to do to fit them.

would i need a fitting kit to get it in the tube or is the zed one 25mm anyway?

would i need to adjust the settings of the spring load to make them work correctly? if so how do you achcieve this?

i know i should be concentrating on fixing the current issues before adding more stuff but i wanna get this idea straight in my head so when i have solve dthe other issue, i can crack on. also it give sme something positive to focus on rather than the doom and gloom of an immenent turbo replacement.

whip off the nose panel an have a look. :) i think if you remove the inlet pipes too they're not to difficult to get to. I've had a nose at my stock valves, its a straight forward enough job. and as to whether they need adjusting, it depends what they've come off i guess, but from my own experience, i doubt you'll have to change anything.

Ive got a baileys DV26, had it for ages, had it on my pug 406 2lt turbo, cant see how you can adjust it apart from changing the chamber spring though?

 

The recircs are accessible once the nose panel is removed and the OEM (if you have one) air filter box is removed. 2 bolts and 2 pipes (one in and one out) attach it to the car, the bolts usually snap so be mind full of that. You need to plug one of the holes and put the BOV's on the other, attach the vac line to the top and off you go.
