Sorry for the “noob” question! Looking to upgrade the BOV in my 2021 ST but it doesn’t seem to be in the same position as the videos I’ve watched pertaining to the 2020’s. Any pictures or help would be appreciated!

It’s in the same place. Left hand side below the air box.

I picked up my infinite blue ST today and no blow off valve under air box. There is a provision in charge pipe where one would be.

I’ve removed the entire air box and everything around it; no BOV ‍♂️

Yours is not here? It's easy to miss. You can see mine with a red VTA adapter on it.

Yes his is right there. He just doesn’t know what he’s looking for. Your pics should clear it up.

Thanks for the reply! I’m not a car “noob” just newer to the explorer scene. It is 100% not there. I believe it’s been relocated further down on the left, in a much harder-to-reach area. I’ll get some pics tomorrow, maybe you all can see something I’m not.

You’re asking for help and ignoring the help you’ve been given. Nothing changed and nothing moved. The bypass valve is still in the same place and still connects to the driver side turbo inlet tube just like it has since day 1. If you’re looking for a BOV you won’t find one…because there isn’t one.

Thanks buddy. I do appreciate your help! I’m going to snap a few pictures this evening when I get off work. I’ll take everything back out and hopefully we can solve this scooby-doo mystery.

Again, nothing has moved. Look here. Red arrow is the grommet the airbox snaps into. Yellow arrow is the T fitting on the coolant hose. Red circle is what you’re looking for.
