hmmm. that might not be too. Bad. Sounds like it may still be in my price range. Still not sure how I am going to mount a BOV though. Can't weld to a rubber pipe. LOL.

Ah, good point. I forgot about that.. you could put it on a metal pipe that's the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of your rubber piping and just clamp it on like you'd normally clamp a metal pipe to another metal pipe. Kind of like a little metal insert for your rubber tubing. :goodjob:

eh.... I wouldn't mess with the structural integrity of the IC. Plus, it's aluminum so you'd have to have it brazed on. :happysad:

It's traditionally mounted on the charge pipe on the straight portion just in front of the TB.

I can do aluminum work. Dad owns metal working company. What about tapping into the intake manifold?
