Best way to mount bov on an FC.
So I'm trying to find the best configuration for mounting a Type-RS bov onto my FC with the stock turbo and intercooler.
I bought a charge pipe with a Type-RS flange on it, and a couple of 2"-2.5" couplers. Problem: the intercooler is like 1.75" rather than 2", so I can't really make that fit well. I then bought a flange that mounts to a rubber hose. It seems to work okay, but it seems it isn't releasing the pressure nearly as well as the flange mounted directly to the charge pipe.
So whats the best configuration for such a setup?

You can get a coupler to adapt a 2" pipe to the 1.75" intercooler (I could have sworn it was 1.5").
The BOV likely has adjustments to determine when it vents.
Honestly, it's just a noise maker.

Ah okay. I was just assuming that it was just a 1.75" inlet on the IC since it was just slightly smaller than my 2" coupler. I guess I just needed to look a little more for the coupler I need.
