Definitely needa BOV on a wrx!! I've decided on getting an HKS SSQ BOV over the greddy. Was wondering if I change tmic's will the BOV be affected in any way. If i end up getting a FMIC the BOV will have no affect right. I thought that when you change to an FMIC that the intake is changed to below by the fog lights and the BOV will be forced to be moved. Am I just talking stupid or did I overhear right?

 

I don't know what you mean by "the BOV will have no affect right". You still need a BOV with an FMIC, and it will probably end up being welded into the piping somewhere NOT in the stock location.

 

so if i were to buy a bov right now on the stock ic and end up buying a fmic later i will have no need for the bov from the stock one right?

 

if you get the txs fmic you can use the bov from the stock intercooler.
