I thought you would like to see the end results of your work.....
(Late 2004) I sent a spare IC pipe and BOV flange upto Envy, so that they could weld them together as both parts are Ali. They did a fine job and had it polished up for me which, I was rather pleased at how neat it all looked once I got it back, compared with others I have seen done in the Supra world.
It then sat in my garage for 18 months (I’m a Dad now) with the HKS SSQV (I got for my Birthday in Summer 2003)
Anyway, I managed to get of my arse and arrange to have it fitted by CW 3-4 weeks ago now but, did not get around to posting up.
I'm a UK Spec Auto so, did wonder if I would get any 'Stall' issues with the combo of venting to atmosphere with running a MAF so, I purchased the HKS Re-cir kit just incase. In the end I kept the stock BOV and just added the HKS unit as I forgot to buy any blanking kit for the stock BOV location. I have been running twin BOV’s for the last 3 weeks and not encountered any problems at all.
Note: I specified where the flange should be welded onto the pipe which, if I had to do it again, I would raise it up the pipe by 1-1.5cm for a little more clearance – Just being picky really
