The greddy stuff is usually a lot more reasonably priced compared to HKS. Look at their FMIC kit.
Also, this is just the upper pipe. The one that goes from the throttle body to the joint near the MAF.
BTW, anyone ever use this? It's the HKS dual BOV kit on their webpage.

I would guess that having two BOVs would help if you were running a lot of boost and need to bypass a lot of air. Other than that, I don't see any other purpose for it.
It'd be cool if you can use one BOV w/ a stiff spring for racing and then one w/ a soft spring for good driveability. But the BOV with a soft spring will blow open under high boost and leak boost, so that kinda defeats the purpose.
I'd be interested in that hard pipe w/o a BOV kit on there. I think the greddy upper IC pipe uses a cast elbow right before the throttle body.

I've inquired to Greddy about the piping diameter, but they were unable to tell me anything other than somewhere between 60-70mm (2.35-2.75"). I've placed an inquiry to turboimport and will report back if I receive a reasonably satisfying response.
the greddy uic pipe is on back ordered but when i get it ill post picks of the install and size of pipping. he should be getting them at the end of the month. the kits on sale but the kit retails for 230.
now i just need greddy to sell there lower intercooler pipping serperate from there fmi kit.
