its not gonna work on stock pipes. i dont have pics now, but i T'd off between the turbo-to-IC pipe and the stock BPV. i connected the HKS open vent and left the stocker recirculated. i mean, it looked like a cool setup, but it just isnt going to work with the stock pipes. I ran a dedicated vacuum line for the HKS off the intake manifold. i wanted to run the stock BPV and the wastegate off different lines but i had no more hose tees. i doubt it would have done much anyways. the HKS needs to be close to the TB. all in all, failure, sorry guys.
Bummer man, sorry to hear that.
I was actually just thinkin about this, and I thought of a way that maybe you guys with the stock IC--->TB pipe could do it. It would be risky, but you guys could just cut out a section of the stock pipe near the TB, and use silicone couplers (like the ones that connect the injen piping to the maf) to add in a small section of hard pipe. I no longer have my stock IC piping here, so I can't check it out first hand, but I think that it might be possible.
Think about this before you run out and do it, screw up, and you will be mangling your stock pipe, and I'm sure it aint cheap if you mess up.

Note* The gold fin and silver fin are the same thing, just different color. Check the turbo section on my site in my sig for the pics. The purple fin however is a lower tone sound. I have the purple fin, but it sucks IMO cuz it just silences it, so it's barely audible. Maybe the purple fin would be a louder whoosh on higher boost cars such as a supra. Anyone in Dallas who has heard my valve knows it whistles like it should.
How would I install this on my setup. Pic Here: http://protege5.com/vbb230/attachment.php?s=&postid=552715
My bov is by the ic/turbo pipe. Additionally with the stock bpv one end would install to the injen but what about the other? Would I need to drill a hole into the throttle body pipe and attach a nipple to place the stock bpv in? Thanks
and terrific writeup.

2 things I just thought of in regard to this.
1. Has anyone tried to contact Mazda or Callaway regarding the compressor surge?
2. Maybe we can just get the one hard pipe and make this mod instead of the whole set of hard pipes. Would that work if we could get someone to sell it like that?

question for you 505
i understand about the placement of the hks but where do the lines from your stock recirc valve go? I think one goes back into the injen but where does the boost side of the recirc valve come from? Is it on the spool pipes already? or did you make a new nipple for it?

Yes, that sounds right to me. iON set up their kit to run the stock BPV by having basically a threaded hole in the TB pipe. You screw in a 90 degree elbow to that, and then you can place the stock valve and hosing on the elbow.
JDM Sam- Can you still hear any compressor surge when you let off the gas above 3000rpms, without putting in the clutch??? Mine still had major surge before I reinstalled the second valve.
Also do you have any stalling issues??? That is another thing that this dual valve setup really fixed for me.

JDM, I have looked at your setup before when you were going to sell it, and again last night when I was chattin with Dex. I am really confused as to how this is curing the compressor surge for you. Are you still using the stock intake/airbox??? If so, then that explains it a little. But I can't really imagine that the angled piece that you used is that much better than the way that Dex set up his VW friend's HKS.

Since back in march or so I've had the ssq, no real turkey noise I guess. I posted this vid awhile back

stalls but my bov needs to be rebuilt and adjusted correctly.
