Very nice, but why does it mount there instead of the usual spot

I dont think that is due to the BOV being VTA. Thats a whole diffrent ball game you have a NA car that you turboed. That sounds like it might be a tune issue IMO.[/b]


No it is due to the BOV VTA. Other JWT members with a VTA BOV have had the same issues. Since I'm in Kuwait I've just been lazy to look more into it. Figured I'll do more research when I return home and start driving it more often. Can't fix in from Kuwait. LOL

I ended up using a Subaru Legacy GT Adapter which worked great, they have MS3 specific flanges available at StreetUnit.com
This is way it mounts were it is.

I see good luck with that.

Randy, when you VTA, the air that is supposed to vent back through the intake to mix with the left over fuel is instead vented outside, which can create dangerously rich fuel ratios. I've been told by many that vta on a speed is a bad decision, and I'd definitely recommend recirc as well with the HKS

You have that backwards. VTA is sending the air being pushed out to the atomsphere when the throttle closes. Otherwise the force air from the turbo will find another way to escape. Usally by a lose coupling or blowing off piping.

So with Tommy's help at Street Concepts, I am now running this BOV recirc. So far its defenitely not as loud...which is actually nice. I havent really had a chance to get on it yet and feel it out, maybe tommorow. Besides a couple minor rubbing issues I'm liking it a lot. I'll take some pics of the new setup tommorow and post them up here. Thanks to everyone for all your input!!
