It's off of a 2G DSM. Supposed to be good to 1 Bar. It was only $30 but man it works sooo well! No more compressor surge. I don't feel like my turbo is crying everytime I shift now. I will admit though, the car doesn't sound as manly as it did before. Oh well, it's still fast!

yeah, that is pretty ugly.. why not use regular rubber tubing? Or just run the MAF on the cold pipe like some people Ive seen so it wont kill the motor on BOV blow off. I know that sounds weird but it works so well and Ive seen it, everything looks much cleaner. That looks like an RB motor though... Ive only seen MAF on cold pipe on SR's though.

I'm running standalone. SDS EM4-F. There is no MAFS. I ran it across the motor because I feared that the plastic valve wouldn't stand up to the heat of the hot pipe.

I think you meant to get a 1G DSM BOV. The 2G ones are plastic and start to leak BAD at 10-12psi. The 1G version is good to about 17psi and 20+ if you crush them a little in a vise.

Chris is right, 1gs are better, but sorry float, that is pretty ugly. It ruins the otherwise beautiful engine bay. it works so you gotta be pretty happy. I guess yo finally fell victim to THE RECIRCULATOR!

No, I knew that the 1G was the one to have, but I didn't have anything at all and was worried about the turbo. I'm only running 7psi, so I'm not too worried about it. I'll run it recirc regardless, so when I get another valve, I'll be setup already.
