    Want To Buy Snapped the head off my BOV bolt .... need tube?

    Sooooo earlier this year I replaced the BPV on my car with a Forge V1. It had been on the vehicle since 2008, so it was a little more snug than I expected and I snapped the head off the screw. After ripping off the IC and boring out the hole, I replaced it with a nut and bolt to tide me over.

    With winter here, I can get the little things taken care of. I'm looking for that part ONLY ... the "neck" I guess, with the BPV adapter. Some guy wants to charge me 200$ US for it ... but eBay has it for $30. I'd rather keep the money local, so if anyone has one ... let me know.

    I will cover the cost of shipping as I live in Sault Ste. Marie, ON ... and it may be a far drive to Southern Ontario

    Thanks in advance !

    You broke the bolt and didn't just run to the store to replace it with a fairly standard metric bolt? Or heck, just used a slightly smaller bolt that would fit through for a day or two?

    i broke mine off too...zip tied it, drove to Home Hardware, spend less than $1 on two bolts, and fixed it.

    Ended up getting the charge pipe, vacuum pipe, whatever it's called from a partout. 40$ shipped isn't bad
