Obviously wouldn't use the BOV, would get it for the FMIC and piping. A few questions:
- Some of you guys have done eBay FMIC's right? How do you feel about the quality?
- How hard was it to install?
- How efficient is black aluminum going to be at staying cool (and the air inside it), are there other piping options that are affordable that might be less condusive to absorbing heat so quickly? I guess at the rate its moving its not gonna have real long to heat up between leaving the FMIC and entering the throttle body, but I'd like to explore all my options before I lay down my $$$.

Any advice is appreciated. :cool:

get what you pay for

youre going to need a map sensor flange along w/ a few other nipples it looks like...dv, n75, ect

http://www.42draftdesigns.com <-map sensor flange
http://www.atpturbo.com <-quick tap (n75 hook up)

youd still have to find a way to connect your dv

if you were going to get that one man you might be interested in looking at a recirulation kit from forge motorsports which travis should be able to hook you up with. this should solve the problem for hooking up your dv check it out :)

Thanks for the input so far. I didn't mean to imply that was the only kit I woud get on eBay, if theres one that would work better and if it'd be easier to get an FMIC and piping separate I could to that.
