OK, OK... I got an idea that fixes both problems.
Put 2 BOV's
One near throttle body, and one near turbo (on IC for example). There... problem solved

I guess the BOV next to the FMI is 100% show off...
if you consider it a dayly driver maybe its safe for the bov to be in the engine bay and not exposed to all the street dust.

damn you guys are beating this to death! If it's a street car at 8 psi who the ---- cares where the BOV goes? You're BOV isn't gonna suck up a damn pebble..that's probably less likely than water injection with a CAI. But yeah..I'd be weary to put it in the front bumper like that.

That greddy type S mounted on the end tank looks pretty badass but I'll be mounting my BOV on the upper charge pipe like everyone else. Just my 02 cents

who said we were running 8psi... I'm building 2 street crx's (one sohcvtec, one lsvtec) that will both be running about a bar daily-driven...
