Hks Ssqv Bov Help!
this is going to sound very dumb, but i am new to the rx-7 life, i just got a red '95 a couple days ago. I have an apexi GT exhaust, an M2 air intake box, new intake piping, and a HKS Super Sequential BOV
Question: What do i have to buy/mod in order for me to be able to install and operate the blow off valve, the actual hardware installation is not the problem, i just need to know wether i need any sort of other piping or performance piping to install it onto, or can i just throw it on with the stock pieces
thanks

yeah...if all u have is a the BOV it self w/o a flange...u should get a BOV flange from HKS like a 40mm or w/e ur BOV size is....then weld it somewhat close to the throttle body

People told me to put my BOV cloestest to the throttle body so when it closes all that compressed air will be pushed out the BOV and not stuck inside the piping....it still does the same thing anywhere u put it on the pipes

Well shouldnt you put the BOV closer to the turbos because it would release all the air pressure before the turbos and all the "backpressure" after the y-pipe? If there is air in the pipeing and the throttle is closed then it would cause backpressure and then send it back towards the turbos in the y-pipe. The stock bov location would release all of this opposed to one closer to the throttle body that would only release the air still being sent from the turbos and the "backpressure" from when the throttle is close (which is not to much). Well either position has its advantages i guess. Im not to sure. Just a theory. Sorry if it was confusing.
