Looks identical to my setup. lol.
My sentiments EXACTLY! I havent even had mine a year and it's cracked right down the middle through the main weld between cylinders 2 and 3. I wish I had a stock mani to replace it with!

So is there a special way to remove the HKS SSQV from the mounting flange? I want to install my recirculation fitting but it doesn't say how to remove it. I assume you just twist it one way? I don't want to break it..

It has a big C clip holding the BOV to the flange.

you don't have to take it off the flange to put in the recirc fitting... if you can do it on the car (physically) then you just remove 4 allen screws from around the outlet and the outer shroud comes off. swap the insert for the fitting and reverse to put back together.

Okay yea I just decided to keep in on the flange since there were other screws still holding it together. Where is that staples button?
Still need to get a fitting for the intake...and I feel like paying another 15-20 bucks to get one online is just stupid since I know I could get something locally for 2 bucks. I guess I'll just buy some 1.25" pipe and squeeze the hose over it. The real task is getting somebody to weld the s*** for me haha.
Hoping to get atleast 1 of the new fans in tonight. If time permits I may even get my ABS light to go out.

I could weld it you were closer
i wish i could get my abs/brake light to turn off. its been on for about a year. i think i stretched the rear pass side abs sensor light and broke the internals. any help on fixing my problem there?
and i finally found a place that had 3/8-24 thread pitch threaded rod for my diy endlinks. now i have to go back to the place to get some nuts from them but they only sell them in bags that are like $15 and have a lot more than i need. grrr

Well it turns out I'm an idiot once again since all the couplers and clamps I ordered are 1 size too small. I measured the OD of my piping but must have been reading the OD of the clamps and couplers as well, when I should have been looking at the ID of the clamps and couplers. But I gotta say Vibrant's website was a little confusing since it obviously tells you the OD of the couplers, which is pretty stupid considering the ID is what people will need to match.
So today I installed the recirculation fitting on my BOV, which took a whole 5 minutes lol. I was a bit sad when I took it for a drive since apparently the pssh sound is completely gone.
Maybe I can get it back if I adjust the spring, but I still had the pssh after installing the FMIC whenever I would smash the gas. I miss it already haha.

Pollen doesn't stick to wax... blows right off when you drive. Try it!
