Nice....i have one more qeustion..is it better to relocate the APS bov to the upper intercooler pipeing or to put it on the MAF pipe itself by the intake?

 

Type S Recirc... about 10,000 miles and no problems @ all. Its just LOUD.

 

Answered your PM. There is a lot of info out there related to this topic too.

 

I run mine to the MAF pipe (like stock) and it runs great for me.
+1 on the APS

 

To me, this topic is pretty interesting. When I got BR stage 2 and the APS BOV, I questioned which way to install the BOV would be best, so I did some searching. Everything I read said "put it on the UICP" which I agree makes the most sense anyway, when you consider the purpose of a BOV. My question is, why was it mounted closer to the MAF pipe from the factory?

 

Yeh it is interesting.....when its mounted on the UICP...the bottom is on the pipe, and is there a hose that runs from the side (the other opening) of the bov back to the MAF pipe?

 

Basically when you let off the throttle in stock form the air would go:
UICP -> recirc tube -> BOV -> MAF pipe

Now it would go:
UICP -> BOV -> recirc tube -> MAF pipe

The recirc tube just mounts differently, though the overall routing of the air, relative to the two holes in the BOV is the same (i.e. this is not another "I mounted my BOV backwards" thread)

 

APS No Doubt

 

lol yup...that pic was saw22...i like the setup

 

LOL if only people knew what a "pum pum" was ....

Closer than us any way. I have had this BOV in the stock location for about a year.

Daily driver, no problems at all.
