Installation Instructions for GFB Respons (part # T9033)

T9033 is suitable for custom hose-mount installations (1.25” I.D. hose inlet and outlet), and is
also a direct factory replacement for:

• Mitsubishi Lancer EVO I-X

• Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

• Mitsubishi Lancer GSR (4G93)

• Mitsubishi Ralliart Colt

For typical Mitsubishi installations:

1. Locate the factory diverter valve, and if

necessary, remove any intercooler hoses in order
to gain access to the valve – in most cases this
isn’t necessary. Loosen the two hose clamps
with a 10mm socket, then pull the valve free
from the two large hoses.

2. Open the small hose clip that retains the vacuum

hose using a pair of pliers. Slide the vacuum hose
off the valve (if it is difficult to remove, try
pushing the end of the hose off carefully with a
flat screwdriver instead of pulling it).

3. Check the orientation of the factory valve

vacuum nipple, and compare it to the GFB
Respons. The Respons cap can be removed and
re-fitted in any one of 4 orientations if required
for a better fit.

4. Push the base of the GFB valve into the hose so

that it is in the same orientation as the factory
valve. Then push the plumb back outlet into the
turbo intake pipe. Tighten both hose clamps.

5. Re-connect the vacuum hose onto the nipple and

replace the hose clip.

For custom hose mounting, a location for the
Respons must be found on the piping between
the turbo outlet and the throttle body, and a
suitable adaptor must be welded in that location.
A hose to connect the Respons recirc outlet
must also be fitted to the piping before the turbo
(after the airflow meter if one is installed).

NOTE: GFB recommends mounting the BOV
closer to the throttle body rather than the turbo,
since some factory turbo piping can cause
pressure drops which may affect the
performance of the valve. If an intercooler is
used, it is preferable to mount the valve after the
intercooler, before the throttle.
