Finally installed a bov in the turbo coupe!

I've had a blow off valve from forced 4 for a while now along with an inter-cooler that I had polished. It took some doing to get this in as I had to relocate the brake computer, map sensor, and the vam had to go forward about 2"... Pretty nice upgrade - no hesitation between shifts and it's easier on the turbo when you let off quickly. I also bumped the boost up to 17psi.

I have the Forced 4 CAI kit with BOV return for my car. Of course, it is still sitting in the hatch awaiting install with everything else

Actually, there's less sound with this BOV because it vents the pressure back to the front of the turbo. (Which also helps keep it spooled up.) Before, every time I let off the throttle, you could hear the turbo getting forced to stop... Kinda hard on the bearings, etc.
