wat i mean is instead of putting it on the pipe thats in the engine bay that connects to the turbo, i was plannin on welding it on the pipe infront of the car, the one that connects to the intercooler, where people can see the bov by standing infront of your car, cuz i have a 97 sr 240 and i have a full vertex body kit on it, so the bov would fit nicely on the pipe rite under where the turn signal suppose to be, any thoughts on this? i no it sounds kinda confusing but hopefully some1 will understand this =), reason is because ive seen some people do this and i wonder wat it does different if its out in the open, instead of under the hood, thanx in advance

Hmmm I've had mine on both sides, I haven't noticed the diff but I wasn't paying attention. On my current setup the stock recirc valve is on the cold side, right at the throttle body almost, well thats how the RB is stock. When I change to the fmic setup, its gonna be around the battery tray area , right after the cold pipe comes up from below the engine bay.

There is what I did, it was simple and looks pretty clean to me, took all of 2 hours with 2 manderal J bends, and $20 to have it powdercoated.

*Apologies for the semi-thread jack*

I too have considered welding my bov to the front pipe, not so much to be seen as to be heard. {And as we all know venting to atmosphere is for the ricer in all of us

} I just have concerns about rocks and other small projectiles eventually wearing it down. thoughts? Just for sound purposes not performance on my end.
