for those runnin' a Greddy FMIC along w/a aftermarket Hotpipe/BOV kit

[DRIFTINIZ]

allright....just bought my Greddy FMIC......i noticed that the inlet pipe into the intercooler has an opening for a BOV......what can i do about this since my hotpipe kit is already coming with a flange for my HKS BOV....i don't need both holes.....if i plug the hole on the inlet pipe....will the intercooler system still function properly?? any help i would appreciate, thanks!

Umm yes as long as you have a pipe still flowing to the intercooler. Just use a rubber cap and secure it with a clamp.

Get the hole welded shut.

did u mount your BOV on the inlet piping or up top in the engine bay on your hotpipe??....and if so did u recirculate your BOV or not.......

i have th kit too i brought it to a local shope had it welded shut running my bov on the top.

hey future240owner.....u mind posting up a pic or something of your setup....my next big step is making sure all those vacuum lines are hooked up to the right spots w/the fmic......i'm assuming they all hook up to the triple hose connector supplied w/the kit.....but i'm not sure which all lines go there. also, what bout the line running to the intake from the factory smic piping??? i kno this is a lot of questions...but i wanna do this **** the right way LOL

where do people usually plumb the wastegate pressure line to with a FMIC? with a SMIC the stock tit is on the OEM cold pipe right above where the charcoal canister used to be... They say make the wastegate pressure line as short as possible, but do ppl run it from the throttle body anyway? Or do you tap a fitting into the compressor housing or something...

Iv been T'ing my waste gate line off the BOV line,For years and never had any problems with it..In fact it helped my spool up time a whole lot..
