unnecessary? how is getting instant boost every gear after first with the ability to make it a sleeper unnecessary?
too much pipe? there is charge line, dumptube, and the bov tube that is all you see. without that bov tube when he shifts his boost drops from 12 downt to 8 psi and he has to build it all back up again. with it he has full boost instantly, I'm sorry but drastically reducing turbo lag doesnt sound unnecessary to me....

Thats actually pretty damn nice work there! I like it. Its just a tad crowded for me but **** mine looks the same way! haha =) If rerouting works, shiet it works and I'm sure its worth that extra pipe! =)

It'd be nice to see what kind of numbers he puts down on the dyno.

Why buy a typeS BOV if its gonna be silent and recirculated? Funny how the concern was instant boost and not fuel management.

it looks really good. but i would have put the BOV on the upper charge pipe so that its not so damn close to the radiator cap. oh you might want to edit his setup. it says tial 35mm BOV

thanks for the edit info.
acutally If you place the bov anywhere further than 3 feet away from the turbo it neirly defeats the purpose because of the distance the air has to travel. In all reallity you want the bov the optimum placement for the bov would be 6" away form the outlet on the turbo.
