Closest to the airbox. It should be labeled ABV.

Sorry to jump on the post, but I've got new metal intake piping on the way. I'm pretty sure there is no way to pipe the stock abv and crv into the new intake piping. I've read up on the venting to air issues with the stock abv valve, it may pull in outside air durring vacuum. I guess I can throw on a check valve to prevent that.
To my question what are the ill effects of venting the crv valve to air, and what is the crv? Is it just another blow off valve for the 2nd turbo only or something? Also, should I really try to spend the time to figure out how to pipe the abv and crv's into the intake piping by modifying the piping somehow instead of venting it to air? Again, I'm not trying to vent these to air just for a louder whoosh sound, I actually prefer them to vent into the intake pipes.

The CRV is venting the secondary turbo while it's not in use. If you vent it, you will hear air being vented until it closes which is around 4200 rpms.

I wouldn't worry about the check valve as long as it has a breather filter or plumbs back into the intakes it should be fine.

Two easy options:

Put breather filters on the BOV/CRV

or

Step 1: cut 2 holes in intake pipe
Step 2: install brass nipple fittings into intake pipes
Step 3: connect hose from BOV/CRV to fittings
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!
