seems it would be easiest to just mount the BOV on the hotpipe lol. then i dont gotta worry about MAF distance from the TB and th BOV, i can basically put it anywhere on the coldpipe.
got money..want horsepower

ya, it would work. If you read the thread you would see that i inquired about the same thing. If you are looking to do it without welding a flang then you will have to leave it in the "Stock" position on the cold pipe. should still be good tho.

welding a flange isnt a big deal. i would just get the polished aluminum turbolife kit and then just repolish it after it got welded. i guess ill know forsure when i get everything and see how my spaceing works

yea man, everything i heard is turbolife is the s***. i love my CXracing kit, and it pactically fit like it was made for the MSP, just a couple of small cuts. took maybe 1-2 hoursh to install. the BOV that it comes with is fine functionality wise, but it doesnt sound like the authentic GREDDY type-s. maybe ill hit the dyno this week and ill hit you up if i do. i just never had a smic to compare it to, as i was n/a prior to the fimc. i dont really see what would make the turbolife one worth double the cost. its just a bunch of pipes and a core either way right? maybe it is worth double because it takes less time to install, idk.

less piping, bigger core, proven performance, HUGE pimp factor.

ya man well if u can get send your dyno sheet sometime that would be sweet just so i can compare it with the turbolife (if you want to compare your kit with the turbolife just search on his thread and he has his dynosheet posted with runs before and after the install)
As a correction, just so the comparison is fair, the runs posted in my thread are the Perrin vs. my kit, not vs. the stock setup.
