Thats because I dont think anyone has done it. I thought about it but just did the FMIC. It's a custom job so you kind of just have to wing it. You will not be able to run the stock BPV unless you weld on an inlet on the hotpipe like the stock one.
Honestly, if you're going through the trouble just do a FMIC....you'll be much happier.

My BOV is already on a flange , all set to go, not sure what hose to conect it to and not sure about those two sensors as well, the one on the air box and the one on the piping ad well... I thought the MAF went before the TB then the BOV went aftedr the MAF... ? Is this going to be just as hard ad doing the FMI ? Lol just wana make sure I do it right and dnt F up and break the thing ....

No, the MAF goes between the BOV and the TB. The stock setup is just as you described (MAF -> BOV -> TB) and that is what causes stalling issues.

relocated maf ftw!
fmic is going to be harder because you have to take the bumper off and there will be some cutting, but it doesn't seem like this is worth all the trouble because you will still have the crappy stock ic and now some cut up pipes that you may or may not be able to use when you do you fmic install

That's what I was thinking, if you cut the pipes up for the stock SMIC you won't be able to reuse them most likely. Don't even bother with the stock IC, it's not worth putting hardpipes on unless you get an upgraded SMIC and even then it won't match the performance of a FMIC.

Is PG the only place to get an SSAFC? I can't find them anywhere, I want one and would like to have it by Christmas and I have heard some bad things about PG and how they dick around and take 1-2 months to ship sometimes. There aren't any on Ebay or the forum right now. If anybody wants to sell an SSAFC V2 for the MSP let me know.
DUDE UNLESS U personally have had problems with them i call b.s. everytime i order something from them ken the owner answers any questions i ask and always replys to emails very soon if not the same day, i just ordered motor mounts from him and needed them right away and he hooked it up for free so, ive never had any shipping problems or for that matter any problems at all!!!

So don't bother with the stock ic.... I have already cut 2 of the pipes up, the U shape one and I think a 90 dgr angle one.... But still have all the rest and prob could use the cut up,pieces as well, for the most part.. how long should it take to do the whole project for the FMI ? And I'm still not sure what to do with the 2 sensors and hook up of BOV, its on a flange already (wich sucked ) other than that do I need anything elts for Instalation ?

They **** me everytime I ordered from them. From taking 4 months to ship, to sending me the wrong part numerous times.
They still owe me money after 2 years, yet ignore every form of contact.
**** PG, they will never get any of my business again
