So does anyone know if it is possible to run the dual BOV/BPV setup with a stock WRX BOV...My brother upgraded to a turbo xs and I thought maybe I can make use of his stocker rather than shelling out 200 bucks for a new BOV. Ideas? Suggestions?

i"ve seen people install stock eclipse/talon BOVs on turbo civics and it works fine.. and there loud too...
the only thing is that it's not adjustable like a an apexi and others..
OEM never is adjustable :P

yeah adjustability was my only concern...I really want to get a used HKS SSQV because i love the look/sound and the way it works. But money is tight at the moment until i get my MPI tuner sold

the only problem is making a flange so i can mount this thing to the pipe...it has a very stretched/odd shaped flange.
And then there is the problem of if it doesnt work...then I am stuck with a giant WRX BOV on my hot-pipe! (or cold pipe...not sure where i am mounting it yet)

on the WRX the BOV mounts directly on the intercooler...Anyone think drilling the proper hole in my endtank and making a gasket to install like a wrx might be a good idea?
Its something new to suggest I know, but id like to hear feedback if anyone has any thoughts? ...I may just be a cheap retard and should just opt to shell out the loot for a newer adjustable BOV, but i am so curious about this since no one has attempted anything like it.
Has anyone placed their BOV directly on the intercooler? ...i know some people have placed it on the hotpipe.
