do you have the stock BOV and pipe that goes between the stock IC and turbo? and the stock TID?

and why do you want to put the stock one back on?

I'll tell you, give you my top mount with custom 1g DSM BOV, and all you have to do is let me have your front mount with all those pipes you wont need anymore. Sounds like a good deal huh?

if your aftermarket BOV is attached to your FMIC piping then you most likly can't use it. you either need a stock one, or an aftermarket kit made for the rx7 which goes between the stock IC and turbo.

where is your BOVon the FMIC? and do you have the stock metal / plastic pipe that goes btween the turbo and IC?

why are you taking it the FMIC off? and which one is it?

The green circle highlight is the pressure sensor and the red highlight is the factory bypass valve (bov's technically vent to air, the factory one vents to the intake).

No, I cant remember why but there was something wrong with the factory terminals so I cut them off and replaced them with new ones. The insides are unpainted. The paint on the outside has stopped me from grounding my rachet to the chassis a few times though
