Which valve is the BOV?
I recently purchased an all Stock 1993 Mazda Rx7.
I am still learning about the car so please do not flame me or make fun of my intelligence of the rx7.
I am aware that it is possible to detach the hose running from the stock BOV to the stock air box, thus creating a louder and more powerful sound without purchasing an aftermarket one. I was just wondering what hose i should detach. There are two seperate hoses that are hooked up to almost identicle valves. I am not sure wich one is the blow of valve.
If someone could be clarifiy the location of the blow off valve, it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to FD hell/ownership. 
Do yourself a favor and download the Factory Service Manual:
http://iluvmyrx7.com/3rd_gen_manuals.htm
It will contain just about everything you need. The manual references the BOV as the ABV (and the devices are labeled as such ABV and CRV).
