It depends on how much boost you're running.

No, not unless you're running sequential twins (then one would be called BOV the other CRV).

I think he's saying like the old Rat-Rods of the 40's and 50's. You assemble any old parts you can find and drive without regards to how it actually looks.

2 bovs is much quieter than 1. Think about how it makes sound through pressure.

it is being trimed down a bit but basically underneath is the rad(upright) and infront of that is the i/c also upright)also diverts air directly to the turbo.

now befor you all say why not have a v mount,this set up has worked perfectly fine so i dont see the point in changing it

yeah i am not as happy with the fitment as i would like as but was in a rush to make a tuning date and just to make sure it all worked. as soon as my daily is back on the road i am taking it out and re-fabing the radiator mounts to close the gap and raise the bottom of the radiator the same amount so i don't have to worry about scraping as much.

Just a custom intake setup. I didnt like the apexi intakes I had on before. Sucking in to much hot air from the engine bay. So I went this direction. Plus I wanted to keep it stock looking.
