Question 2 bovs?

Can I use 2 BOVS?

Im asking this because on my XS T04S kit there is a pipe that has the Apexi BOV attached to it that comes right out of the turbo.


I just bought a HKS SSQBOV to mount near the throttle body. Just wondering if I can just leave the Apexi one on there. Should I leave everything intach or should I disconnect the hoses going to it?

I fI can use 2 of them, Ill use 2 of them.

Let me know what you think.

2 BOVs sound so tight, I have a friend with 2 on his Supra. The GReddy BOV makes a chi chi chi chi, which is followed by the Blitz BOV which sounds like a loud sigh. Seriously they sound so damn good.
But as stated earlier by stevecod, unless you are going to be running crazy high boost like a Supra. The 2nd one is not needed.

I know the 2nd one isnt needed but I hate the Apexi BOV. I like the HKS better! And I want to mount it closer to the TB. I cant take the Apexi off because of the XS IC piping

go to any muffler shop and they can bend you a pipe just like the XS. that way you can mount your bov closer to the TB. sell your Apexi and get a HKS ssqbov.
