Dan, yes, all to do with the location of this silicon hose I think, although way above my head, lol! U mite want to contact Dave at BCS, see exactly what he says, but note he is now aware of this issue as Nick suggested...

I called Dave this morning & he is sending out the relocation kits as soon as he gets them in..he will also supply a connector as our silicone pipe won't be long enough to connect to the top of the engine

I had the powervalve fitted on the 7th aug (early in the morning) up at haydock, then went straight down to R-tech for the mapping...nick suggested I take a test drive after the mapping..what can I say..it's like the car is on steroids...F##king mental....all was happy with a big grin on my face until I had about 20miles from home & no boost..called r-tech straight away and there told me to go bk but it was too late so I ended up going bk on the 9th and we found that the silicone pipe has come off from the bk box..

Dan, to be honest, no, i left the car with Dave, then went into town for a few hours, then came back and drove off so-to-speak! Even after Nick fitted this clip, did the hose then come off again??

Thats one reason why i steered away from the power valve and had a straight through BCS 3inch tbe fitted to my car. Simple is simple does! If I hadnt already got a Shark map on my car I would have gone to Rtech.

I always think when you have fancy valves there is more to go wrong with them. I can see the point behind them as people want a noisy exhaust all the time. But the BCS systems as standard arent really that noisy off boost or indeed on boost.
