Yea yea, I know this has been beaten to death but hear me out...
Okay, so i've been searching for a while now and can't find exactly what im after. I know these cars use the DV system, and a bov *hks or the like* have to have some crazy shit ugly adapter to mount properly. But what about this...
What if custom piping is made, from throttle body to IC and IC to turbo is made and the bov is mounted in the traditional way using a vband clamp with the proper port off of the throttle body - IC side pipe?
The next part of the puzzle that confuses me is what to do with the stock DV setup.. block off the port on the turbo housing.. then do what with the DV itself? hide it away and leave it plugged in?
Also, I'm running APR S2+ tune if that matters...
I'm researching IAT's with specific IC setups, and if it turns out that a stand alone setup is what's best, i'll be picking up a Vibrant core, and building my piping myself. I just want to know if I can add a vband clamp setup and run a real BOV to the piping or what.
I've heard all the shit about it running rich between shifts blah blah blah, but IF this is even the case, wouldn't a traditional BOV setup rectify this seeing as it's a tried and true method on 100's of applications.
sorry for my long ass post. I just want to know what if any possible problems could arise from this.
thanks for all your guy's help! :thumbsup:
