You could get this one
TurboSmart Kompact Dual Port Blow-Off Valve

or something similar to that that recircs/blows off atmospheric

TurboSmart Dual Port Blow-Off Valve

These both can recirc/blow off so you have the legal side covered and the cool sound side covered (or so I would think).

Ill Look That Up Thanks...

[MSpeed2397]

Also where did you get that FMIC? It looks like a real nice setup for sure

[SOCAL MSP]

I Dont Even Remember But Ill Find Out! Have You Heard Of Perrin Blow Off Vaule?? They Make One For The Mazdaspeed Protege. Im Thinking Of Ordering It. They Say It Works Great. Or Do You Know Where I Can Get A Kartboy Short Shifter?? I Looked On There Website And They Stop Making Them.

Honestly, I like the throw dist. of the stock shifter, but I'm not too sure. I'd check google and see if anyone still carries them. There is one problem with just having a blow off valve alone though...it usually causes stalling. If you get the forge it may or may not cause stalling, but honestly, I highly recommend recirc/blow off or just recirc. Just blow off doesn't work very well with our cars. You can read up on MAF relocation and the dual valve setup that most people run. Just search for relocate MAF or dual valve and you should come up with some good readin'. The Perrin BOV is nice, but if you just want to replace the stock BPV you have to recirc or you'll most likely have stalling. The perrin does sound real nice though, I've heard it before.

If I was you I would pick up a TWM short shifter. I have one, and I love it. Many have given me compliments of the throw and height. They are a sponsor of the site and offer deals all the time.

Wanna post some pics of the entire engine bay?

welcome to the forums!

i carry both the TWM and B&M short shifters for these cars

[SOCAL MSP]

Yeah I Put Some More Pics Of My Engine Bay And Exhuast. As I Put On More Parts Ill Be Throwing Up Pics. I Ordered That Perrin Bov. Its A Recirc. A Company In My Area Do Really Badass Work With Turbos And Other Stuff, Group5 Motorsport. They Told To Get The Recirc Because Of Stall Issues. So Its Sound Good? Cant Wait To Throw That Bitch On.. Alright Ill Check That Short Shifter Out. Anyone Know Some Good Bolt On Down Pipe. I Wanna Be Able To Swap It Out For Smog??

I'd just get a catless mid pipe or at the very least a high flow catted one. One of the best mods to the car was replacing that mid pipe, it was cheap easy and made a lot of power. I already had an exhaust, an intake and was running 8.5psi so that was holding the power back.

ILL HAVE SOME PICS UP SOON ONCE I INSTALL SOME MORE PARTS!

I know this is off subjuect with what i started, but i blew my motor a while back and i got another motor and just my luck when I went to tune it. long story short i found the first rod was bent. dam motor only had 23,000 mile and i already got F again.

So I said F it and forged out my motor. now I wanna go with a bigger turbo and fmic setup. First Im gonna upgrade my fuel system. The thing I wanna know is when i do this is it best that I still have recirc bov istead of just a reg bov? Regard what you do do our motors always gonna need a recirc for no stall issues? just wondering?

anyone???
