HKS BOV Install
Can anyone tell me where I can go online to see how this install has been completed? I have the HKS and the flange but I am attempting to decide where I am going to locate the BOV? Top right turbo hose or in the Stock location, any useful suggestions would be appreciated. I may have somone fabricate the hoses and then have them powder coated.

Re: must be BOV day.. I assume these are getting installed just for sound purposes.. doh!
No, not the sound. I'm waiting for the New APR Stage III kit and I'm getting the parts together to do the upgrades all at once. I need some direction because I haven't used any "Fabricated" parts on the car thus far. There used to be a place online that made a single piece (BOV, pipe, flange etc.)but they don't make it anymore.

Re: Why do you want to use BOV?
Actually I also have the recirculator valve for the HKS which I will use. My main problem is that I need to mount the HKS to some piping and I need to know which location will be easier or better yet more efficient.

In theory? Another hose? A BPV has 2 hoses, a BOV that is recirculated has 2 as well.

And the HKS uses a weld on flange, so there won't be a hose on the ppressure side, only one hose for the recirculated side. That side does not have much pressure - so a leak is not an issue.
BTW - I have a BOV that is recirculated. The only real difference between a BOV and BPV is that one is recirculated and one is not. The design differences seem to be more about the company that makes them, not whether or not they are labeled a BOV or a BPV.
I wish that I got the HKS, at the time I did know you can recuirculate it. It may be one of the best valves out there. And you can recirculate it, making it a BPV.
