Thanks Jose!
Yeah...I bought the pipes/couplings off a NASIOC member who damaged the front of his car...lucked out...I have good friends here...we all watch out for one another...
You know though...as always, all parts were not shipped so it took a while to figure out the key components missing...luckily, APS has a complete parts breakdown to the kit...
ok...looking forward to the video man!

It's pretty cool...
Hey Roel...
You can really mess with the sound an HKS bov makes...the purple insert by itself normally makes a "Shooooo" type of sound with a top mount intercooler...it must be something to do with the extra length of piping (about 18" or rubber hose, U-shaped) that is not directly in-line with the FMIC tubing that creates like a pulse of pressure rather than a constant pressure as seen at the TMIC mounting point...
This might explain the "Cha cha cha chaaaa" sound at lower boost levels and as the higher boost levels are hit...that "Squishhhhhh" sound...
I'm going to be trying out a Greddy bov soon...can't wait.
