Bpv recirc piping help

So I just installed the X ic, licp, and UR upper. My friend gave me some spare piping for the bpv issue. The pipe unlike the original goes straight up from the licp, could this be a problem? There is also alot of tension on the piping connected to the bpv, because of fitting issues. All I'm asking is if you guys can take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks

looks higher then stock, are you able to cut a few inches of the pipe on the bottom?

Other than being upside-down, it looks alright. As long as it doesn't rub on anything, doesn't leak, and isn't being pinched anywhere, you'll be fine.

I would but it would put too much tension on the pipe coming out of the side of the bov. If I didn't tighten the clamps while holding the pipe to the bpv it would literally slip off

The method I used with my X LICP was sourced a 6" long and 1 ³/⁴" dia aluminium pipe from Home Depot racing.

JB weld works well for beading, just tape the ends and leave the area to be beaded exposed between two small pieces of tape. Your old return hose will need a bit more cutting to work. My X BPV vacuum line does face the UICP, but it isn't an issue as long as you manipulate the hoses to fit. Or, use a Evo 9 BPV...nipple faces the other direction.

Looks fine. I am just wondering if the tension you are talking about is on the pipe sits between the LICP and BPV . You could find some piping kit and cut it make your customised own with couple of clamps and silicone hoses. looks like you cut your battery cover too.

But what I am thinking is as long as there's no leak and you can close the hood, your set up should be fine..
