Just curious about this, i had HKS on my Starlet GT & currently use a Blitz on my Skyline but when i went looking for the bov on the Legnum never seen one like this before. Also noticed a pipe blocked up to the side of it, it doesnt make a loud enough noise so was thinking maybe its a std reciculating. Any ideas?

That is VEERY unusual. From the looks of the trumpet, its a VTA, but its possibly a hybrid unit of some sort.

It's set up as a VTA and I doubt it could be used as a recirc or hybrid as it only has one outlet, the trumpet...... it's possible that the nut is to vary the resistance of the spring...... adjusting the nut might increase the sound but by doing so it might make the BOV open under boost or not open at all, it might be a matter of trial and error in setting it up correctly..........

Just found Trevors old thread when he bought it, some sort of night pager control box comes with it which is located under the sterring wheel

that so called BOV, is actually a electronic solenoid. there must be a switch and possibly a relay in there somewhere to get the valve opening? best bet is to remove it as the outlet doesnt look anywhere near big enough.. a cheap e-bay item would go better than that.

i wish i had the money in my pocket that i paid for it, it would buy me nearly 10 ebay bov`s

Just dropped you a pm there Trev asking bout maybe replacing it. Was thinking of maybe a HKS ssqv replica from ebay as i think the gf would kill me if i paid another £300 for a genuine one again.
