No reason to buy this with a knockoff SSQV4...Everyone who dislikes HKS bovs are usually the people with the knockoff version.

You can recirc them or swap out the inserts for a quieter sound. I like them because they work great, only downside is so many of them are knockoffs...I only buy from dealers : /

There's no need to put a pipe there unless you are doing the stock bpv delete and adding on an aftermarket bov/bpv.

Bigger pipes throughout in a small turbo application usually bring more lag...

I'm not saying it will be totally useless, just saying who is going to go through the trouble of a before and after dyno on something so minute? You want hard piping? Buy an intercooler kit from turbosocks...

Do you have any proof that changing that piece with a slightly larger hard pipe will provide benefits over the stock piping?

I have no proof however I will be making a stock positioned FMIC and piping kit to find that out... the amount of lag that pipe would create even if you went to a 3" pipe would be un noticable. I have a crap load of piping laying around .. I could easily install it with no trouble.

the stock hot side is like 2" i think turbosocks said. theres a good chance that upping that to 2.25 wouldn't hurt anything and would more then likely help it

the piping for the setup I make will more then likely be 2.5 on cold side 2.25 hot side stop positioned FMIC with stock bov flange

wow, that is terribly expensive for such a shotty product in my opinion.

doesn't even have rolled ends on the piping, just some weld material? Also, it doesn't look like it fits the greatest. not to mention it uses cheap worm groove clamps..

Basically, you are paying 220 for two couplers, 4 clamps and less than a foot of piping + 40$ for a knockoff HKS BOV.. Seems like a terrible deal all around to me.

The stock cold pipe goes from ~2" to 2.5" at the throttle body. You wouldn't be gaining much at all here if anything, other than a BOV.

I could probably make an identical setup to that but with better fitment, rolled ends and t-bolt clamps for about half the price and everything would be higher quality.
