keith, why did you guys put the bypass valve on the hot pipe between the intercooler and the turbo instead of the cold pipe between the intercooler and the throttle body? The reason that I ask is because there is always a pressue drop after the intercooler no matter how efficient it is, and if the pressure on the valve of the bov is before the intercooler, and thus before a, lets say 1-2 psi pressure drop, then there will be more pressure trying to open the bov valve under boost than there will be trying to keep it closed from the vacuum line that runs from the intake manifold. This will result in the bov cracking open and leaking boost, which is not good. Now, I know a lot about cars, but you guys I'm sure know way more. Was there a specific reason for going this route instead of the traditional way? It looks badass though, I love the clean right angle that it makes with the ic pipe and the intake suction pipe...no soft piping, awesome. Let me know, thanks.

We are testing a few different pipe kit configurations and blow off valves. 1-2 psi shouldn't be a problem because of the spring pressure in the blow off valve. Will have more results up today.
hey keith i just got rid of my 8 and bought the X. i got a blue one. paul n brandon came to the dealer wen i got mine. cars sick. ur pipping is amazing dude. how much is it going to cost for that kit ?
