i have the apexi intake....

on the top filter, there's a hole for a hose that just has a rubber cap on it...

there's a hose running up there for this, with a little brown thing in the hose, i THINK it's a bov? does this need to be connected? or is it fine?

 

anyone?

 

what does that "bov" say?, if its the abv, then thats the car's BOV and you can vent it to the atmosphere if you choose.. if not, then get a rubber hose and run it from that part to the intake..

 

yup, it says that.....

now correct me if im wrong, but it looks like there's another running into the other air filter....

can this one be done the same way?

 

wait, where are your stock hoses? you should be tracing this back to where its supposed to go..

 

almost 1200 posts and you dont know where your BOV is... :T

 

1150 were FC n/a bs =] had my fd a week.

the other hoses should be connected.

 

ulost.......it runs back to the turbo manifold i guess...

i think the previous owner just had it unhooked for it to be louder.

i was wondering what both unhooked would sound like? =]

 

^^try it and find out LOL

congrats on the fd

 

it wont hurt anything though correct?

and both are bov's?

if so, ill hook it up like that and try it =]

 

The one closest to the front of the car is the BOV. You can vent this to atmosphere if you want. the other brown one on the back part of the y-pipe is the charge relief valve( I believe that's the correct name). The CRV you must leave hooked into the intake because it is not a one way dealy. Some times it lets air in, so leave it hooked up.
