I bought an atmosferic BOV like this (http://www.re5pect.pl/index.php?products=product&prod_id=4). I read some threads about bov, and have some questions about it but for first short list of modyfications:
- custom made 2.5" jpipe-back exhouste with RacingBeat muffler
- custom short-ram intace with ITG foam filter (no maf relocation)
- ProPerfect MBC
- Original pipings (plastic)

Now running on 8psi boost.

And questions

- I found in one of topic that picture:

And as you see there is no bypass Valve only bov on hot side pipings. Is this will work good??

- Where to install bov when I will leave oryginal Bypass-valve, maby here:

Stall means that the car shuts down or turns off on its own and you should just get hard pipes.

There is no posibility of installing bov like this having stock pipings to properly running car? Mayby installing something like this valve (http://www.re5pect.pl/index.php?products=product&prod_id=2448) will better protect turbo and make sound louder (if i good understand you call for it turkey).

franciscoescn and don't have enought money for now to make hard pipes, for summer i will make fmic and hardpipes at once. But for 600$ here in poland we can buy fmic for about 100-120$ 550x180x65 mm. polished aluminium and for rest 500$ 2.5" piping made of stainless steel.

If I were you, I would just wait until you get the FMIC before going through the hassle of ruining your plastic stock pipes.. if you mess them up, they may cost you more to replace instead of just waiting until you have the right setup to add a blow off valve.
