my question is if i take the line off the stock BOV and switch it to the after market BOV is the stock one still in use?
or can i jsut T off the line and run both BOV?

if someone could give me some pointers that would be great.

i am currently running 10LBS if that matters.

Dude, stop what you are doing, and turn down your boost.
Don't run the SMIC in cali heat(I know it's winter atm, but still), with anything over 7lbs, or you are probably gonna be looking at some nice heat soak, and some nice damage to your piston.

Also, don't switch to an aftermarket BoV. The SMIC gives better response with the stock one, cause its recircd.

Just leave it alone until you get a FMIC.

i learned this lesson the hard way 6 years ago.... 12 psi on stock intercooler in alabama summer = pistons in pieces
the side mount is ok for dd but anymore than that its safe to go with a larger intercooler

i will be getting a FMIC after X-mas im sure that will fix most if not ALL my problems. i dont PLAN on boosting more then 12LBS even with a FMIC its really not needed for DD there are plenty ways of getting MORE power then jsut turning up the boost=]
thanks for your help guys.

are you planning on running larger injectors with your setup? i think 10psi is really pushing those 370cc injectors

well i dont think i need to replace the injectors with 12lbs if im correct you dont need to replace them unless you are going above 1 bar of boost.(14lbs.) if i get bigger injectors i have to get a tune. and if i get bigger injectors i might as well get a z32 MAF and get it tuned for all that but its something i dont need to really do on 12lbs. although i wouldent mind getting a safc piggyback with my stock setup (injectors and maf ect)

i think your pushing the limits of the stock injectors at 12lbs on a untuned motor. personally i would buy a a/f ratio gauge and monitor it to be on the safe side... i know for me its not worth boosting that much on a t25 on a stock setup being im on my 3rd sr20 motor i learned the hard way many years ago
