Save your money on the BOV and boost gauge. Treat yourself to a lap dance instead!

Already ordered a GFB bov then realised it wont fit under the engine cover! Rookie mistake. I suppose you don't need to have the cover on though and I don't really want to cut it up...

It's technically illegal but I haven't had one on for months.
I have a Gfb respons that fits under the cover although prefacelift is probably a different situation.

Yeah I ordered a respons, you can have it open/closed right? so if its closed its not illegal? or just having a non standard one illegal?

It's actually a defectable offence to have the tow ball attached when not in use. Saving the world one shin at a time :roll:
