Thanks guys keep it coming.

AArotary: How easy was it to get a custom flange for that IC pipe to your BOV? Can you get a custom flange for an Apexi BOV for that IC pipe? WHo can do it? and how $$?

What kind of single turbo did you go with. Very nice and VERY clean. You have the nicest FD that I have ever seen.

Hey AArotary, is that the Type R blowoff valve from Greddy? I was thinking about getting that or the HKS sequintial. Which one do you recommend for a loud, but very nice sound?

Either go with the Greddy type-R or the HKS SSQV or the HKS racing sequential BOV but it cost alot more.

I think you have to custom a flange or you can buy a kit for the RX-7 and it comes with all the hardware to mount the BOV.

7 eleven your engine bay rules!

Like the greddy piping.

AArotary: where can you buy pipes with flanges already set up on them? Any sites?

What about a flange for an HKS SSBOV?

You could always buy the elbow or pipe, by the bov and mounting thing and just take it to a welding shop near you and have them cut a hole and weld it on.

That is true. I could do that. I would be afraid they would mess up the polish of the elbow. I might do that.

Thanks!

anyone ever polsihed then got there IC piping and other lauminum stuff anodized? That would be different. I know a few tuners (PFS) powdercoat some of the stuff, mainly the IC Piping.

Only visible mods are the K&N and the Paxton; the bdfpr is tucked down on the firewall.
