Or do i have to put it somewhere else?

 

You can just do it but may need to make it fit somehow depending on brand of BOV you use.

 

YES.

 

Ok, i realized that it was a stupid question.

 

Just make sure you are replacing the bov and not the one for the twin turbos. Seen it happen more than once.

 

what do you mean, by not the one for the twins??? are you talking about the changeover valve, so the upper one??? speaking of which, does that one every go bad??? so only replace the lower one right???

man i'm full of quesetions and this isn't even my thread, sorry for threadjacking...

 

There are two "BOV" looking things connected to the stock y pipe. The front one is the BOV. The second one is there to release excess boost from the 2nd turbine.

 

that confused me even more...hehe. now if the car is all stock and i'm looking at it from the front with the hood up, is it the hose on the top or the hose on the bottom???

 

The BlowOffValve and the ChargeReliefValve look quite similar. The BOV is the unit closest to the airbox while the CRV is closer to the turbos.

 

i love the sound of mine as is. i just disconnected it and capped the hose with a coca cola screw n cap and it sounds soo hot

 

you can vent both the CRV and the BOV...both are "Bovs". even though thye have different part numbers, i dont see how their function is any different. But yeah, you can vent both of them to the atmosphere.

yeah, you can just place an aftermarket BOV in place of the second valve.... mine is an HKS SSQV (super sequential blow-off valve)... i'm not too sure about the fitment, this one was ordered for a 2000 Audi S4 and he doesn't use it anymore so i threw it in.. just make sure you cap the 'nipple' off the back of the air box (still need to do that)...

by the way, i had to stretch the hose out with some needle-nose pliers just to get it to fit over the BOV... not too bad though, i just disconnected the other end which made it much easier outside of the engine bay and then connected it when i had the hose clamped to the BOV.... don't worry about which direction the BOV is facing, you'll still be able to hear it and it will still function as intended, even if it's facing down (like mine).... it's the top hose on the passenger side of the air box (you should be able to figure it out, it's got the stock valve a few inches away from the airbox)



EDIT: i don't have a problem with hood clearance either

 

Whats the difference between the Universal BOV's and the RX-7 kit???
Is it worth the extra $100.00????
