need some suggestions on bov, wastegate, ic

A few questions and I'm almost done putting everything together...

Can anyone recommend a good quiet (stealth) BOV solution that will handle 5- 15 lbs of pressure? Ideally, I'd like to just barely be able to hear it. How about the dsm or other factory bov's. Are they pretty quiet? Seems like they would be...

Have you used a starion / other stock fmic? Does it fit / flow well on a civic
?
How much would a fmic like this go for, any ideas? (33x7x3, fits honda)

Hey, no bidding against me! j/k I know it is all good, as long as you know if you filch it I'm gonna be on your doorstep!

Same thing for those supra intercoolers all over ebay (24x12x3)

Think it would fit well with/without cutting? I've never put one on so I don't know what works well.

Anyone have a external wastegate off a stock-boosted car? What and how is your experience with it. I know all things are not equal, just looking for an idea on the performance potential.

If you can help on any of these, it'd be great!

Thanks.

I use a dsm bov that ---- was not that quiet, even if you reroute it back to the turbo inlet, and I only boosted to 6 psi, INTERCOOLER? you see that intercooler flashing at the top of you screen? click on it, great price, great item I'm guarantee you will be buying one.

The BOV DOES NOT install between the filter and the turbo. It will not work like that. It needs to be between the turbo and the throttle body either way. It should be mounted close to the throttle body between the IC and TB, but it can be mounted between the IC and turbo.

.........u could mount it on the turbo inlet just mount the outlet on that pipe and run a hose from ur charge pipe by the tb to the bottom or in side of the bov.....i think that is the way its done on some volvos
