Got my timing belt done today, and discovered that the BOV installed is from a B4 Liberty and doesn't fit (has 1 hose too many).

Looking for a stock BOV to fit my Forester, not chasing an aftermarket unless i have to. Car is an MY99 Forester GT (SF5).

PMor E-mail me if you have something

the standard foz one has 2 vac nipples, does the lib one have 3?

Well it went to Subaru Wangara and they said its the wrong one and doesn't fit. From memory it only had 2 nipples..

sweet, you can also fit the stock gc8 wrx one that has 1 nip

The other thing that worries me is, that on the drive home it felt really slow either the turbo wasn;t spooling up, or something else was wrong. It certainly sounds way better, no more slapping or misfiring.. but no power either

so i take it the t/belt etc is all done yeah? thats pretty wierd, maybe they forgot to do up some hose so its leaking under boost, check the bov line, y-pipe & t/b connectors

EDIT - Yeah, the timing belt was done, and it was when they were doing it up that we noticed a hose from the BOV was totally unconnected. See this pic



I'll have a better idea in the morning when i can drive it again and i'm not so tired and cranky lol.

Just had no pull or power at all, having a really frustrating day with the car.

there should be a t piece coming off the manifold vac hose that splits it in 2 then each of these go to the bov nipples, i think LOL will confirm when i get home & look at mine
