What is this? Need some info!

Hey, so i was just checkin my oil and saw a hose (looks like a rad hose kind of style) that comes OFF of my air intake which goes to my turbo on my SR20DET. It has an APEX hybrid intercooler, so it uses most of the stock intercooler piping.i have never noticed it before, obviously lol. ANYWAY...this hose goes from the air intake, down the intercooler piping hole and ends up going to these 2 odd looking things. Kind of look like a bov/wastegate. here are some pics




Any help is appreciated, lets figure this out!

My guess would be a recirc valve

Huh, never actually seen one before, but that is most likely the stock BOV (recirc) valve.

thats what i was thinking. weird eh, has a front mount, bigger turbo, hks bov, etc...and a stock recirc valve...just got it here from japan, they must do things differently.

That is 100% the stock BOV, Recirculation valve.
