Re: Started my HMT kit
Wassup Vinny!
I sent this to your pm, but thought I might as well post it here also.
My solution for mounting the WRX BOV was jb weld and do a custom fab job with a 1.5" dia pipe about 2.5" long. I beat one end of the pipe down with a hammer till it gets oval to match the bottom of the flange, then I grind down the other side of the pipe to fit it over the original charge pipe running into the throttle body, while the flat side attatches to the bottom of the WRX bov. JB seals it all for me!
Works great, never leaked, and never had an issue. Plus I think it sounds fucken awesome!!

Re: Started my HMT kit
If you're very cautious about things (as I am), when you prime the turbo, pull off the oil return line and put a bucket or something underneath the turbo (obviously), and then pull the ecu fuse and crank the motor until the oil comes out. Not only is this good because you KNOW for sure that the oil is flowing well, but then you can check the fittings on the feed line and make sure nothing was leaking.
Also, I know a guy who was running an ssac wg on a built d16a6 running around 20psi on a t3/t04e 57 trim and he had no problems that ik of. If you wanna get one, just keep an eye on the boost gauge when you're paranoid, and make sure you put the vacuum line on the LOWER nipple lol.

No soud clips bro.. but hMmm, thinking about it.. I'm almost positive my boy has a vid he randomly took at a summer picnic when I took off with it. I remembered hearing the bov in the video too. I'll see if he still has it.
