grey clip on the charge pipe

imaznumkay · 08-01-2008, 09:40 AM

does anybody know the name or part number for the grey O clip (for DV's) on the charge pipe???

It doesn't look like they sell only the grey clip.

It looks like you'll have to buy a stock DV and get the grey clip from there if you want one.

would upgraded DV's have the clip?

The question is, "Is the grey clip interchangeable between parts?"
Have you tried taking the grey clip off? Maybe this isn't pssible.

what happened to yours? did you brake it? reason I ask is because I installed my Forge DV's but when I went to remove one from the charge pipe it would not budge!! I couldn't remove the DV for the life of me and I tried moving that clip back and forth but the DV is stuck there. I will eventually want to remove the DV for service or for other reasons so I feel I will end up breaking it at some point just trying to remove the DV from the pipe.

anyone else having this issue know how to carefully remove their "stuck" DV's from there? I just don't want to remove the whole charge pipe to remove only the DV's...I am sure thats an option.

sorry for the

i bought the charge pipe from 1clean335i, and he mentioned that the grey clip is missing.
i bought another stock pipe since a friend of mine is willing to give me his bov/chargepipe if i put my stockers in his car, since hes trying to sell the car.

I bought the grey clips from 1clean335i, I paid like $15.00 for that one clip.

I broke mine after changing my 4th BOV. I kept changing it out and the clip became weaker with every bov change. When I got my Prototype Helix BOV's, I broke the clip.

AFAIK; you can't buy that seperately.
