So I was at APEX'i USA's "Garage Sale" over this previous weekend and bought a Apexi BOV (93-95) kit (yes, I bought a BOV! it was for a super reduced price lol). I have 99 spec turbos, the Apexi FMIC, and the APEXi Intake Kit. There is no room to mount the APEXi BOV where the mounting bracket is supposed to (according to the install instructions) since the APEXi Intake kit takes up that area and uses the screw which the BOV bracket is supposed to mount to. So this is wack, APEX'i Intake Kit is not compatible with their own BOV kit, or is it? Am I doing something wrong? I know the other option is buying a elbow (i still have the stock elbow) and mounting it there. I rather not do that (no need for the aftermarket elbow really), but if I must, then I guess I'll have to. has anyone ever had this problem as well?

Also, will the Greddy Elbow with the Flange (made for greddy BOV's) be compatible with the Apexi BOV? or does it need to be custom welded?

Thanks for the post. That's actually where my intake kit is so I can't mount it there (I've tried all sorts of variations):

Just to let you know the apexi bov is garbage. Mine would leak about a lb of boost compared to stock...I posted this problem and got a bunch of other people replying with the same situation. I would sell it.

my works great. It's been two years

Yeah if I it's going to be such a pain, i might just do that. Not sure about the leaking, I heard a lot of people say that, but a lot also say it works fine. Man i got it at a bargain price lol.

^^^ dude WTF? He is thinking of getting rid of his brand new one at the advice of others on this thread.

This thread is basically about the cons of the Apexi bov. Why would you post your sale here? it's like the worst place for it. lol

ImranRX-7

lol true. Too many people on the forums go off of what other people say. I've heard some good things about the APEXi from other 99-spec efini turbo users so I'm sticking w/ it. Anyone have any other solutions? I'm going to probably buy an greddy elbow or something and end up mouting the thing there.
