hard pipe set-up question

[M_S_P_2_0_0_3]

some one told me and ive seen the same set up with no hose going from the cai to the turbo/intercooler pipe. they said it was useless. and the hose comming out from the side of the engine was useless and they put a small air filter on it. so whats up with this??? is it true??? the ppl who told had it done to their msp. when the first hard piping kit came out i bought it and they told me to reconnect where there was no hoses. so i did.

the one from the engine you can put a lil filter on but if you didnt have the other one your MAF would kill ur engine... unless you pluged both of them?

What kind of setup are you running? Are you venting the HKS to the atmosphere? If so, are you running a dual setup, with the stock BPV and the HKS? I do not see a stock BPV in the pictures, it looks like you are running a straight hose in its place. If so, you need to either plug both ends and run only the BOV (you may have stalling issues), use the stock BPV and the BOV (still, you may have stalling issues, but not as bad), recirculate the HKS 100% (no stalling) or run only the HKS and relocate the MAF. If you are runnin a staight hose from the IC pipe to the Injen, you would not be able to build boost worth a s***.

so if i plug up the 2 ends where i got the hose it will be fine or better? wonder why they told me to do that. what is the difference between recirculating and venting by means of performance? which is better? thanks to you both for the help

Yea i was looking for your Bypass Valve, dont see it...is your car running like s***? I am venting to atmosphere and it runs ok but i have read that the dual setup with the bypass recirculating and the BOV venting is pretty good. I am only venting, but have a boostsciences BPV on the way to run the dual setup. Where you have the hose i plugged it until i get the BPV, then ill unplug and run the hose in/out of the bpv...look it up, dual valve setup and read about it, its really the only way to get the nice blowoff sound along with not stalling because the bpv is recirculating.

so can i put my stock one back on? but the hose that came off it is on my hks.

 

[dirtysouth_msp]

Lol, yeah you probably should. Why did you take it off?

?????

do i tee in to the line going to the hks???

 

[M_S_P_2_0_0_3]

the ppl at turbohoses told me to when i first bought it. that was a long time ago.

 

[dirtysouth_msp]

Yeah you will need a vac/boost source for the BPV.

 

[M_S_P_2_0_0_3]

so just tee off the vac line going to the bov?
