2G Hard UICP Clearance for HKS BOV

[JeffwithaG]

Does anyone know if a hard upper intercooler pipe exists for a stock side mount intercooler that can accept a HKS SSQV and clear the hood on a 2g? I've tried a few mock ups with the piping I have and I have interference with the hood. A buddy of mine has a HKS bov with a 1g flange adapter and the only thing I can think of is using the stock piping to fit it. It almost seems like it would need to mount upside down with a hardpipe. I wanted to see if anyone has had this issue or has a pipe for sale that solves it. Thanks!

Buschur Racing UICP to sidemount location on my first 2g circa 2006:

The 1g bypass valve flange was removed and replaced with weld-on flange for HKS unit. Adapters would interfere with hood clearance. You may have better luck having a custom UICP made.

Its not that tight, my last IC pipes i made had a HKS and plenty of room and my new pipes i made this year still run the same bov

CPE makes an HKS kit, I was going to link it but can't get the webpage to load. I personally have the plug and play Turbosmart bov and it was worth it in my case.

My car has 53k on it and the stock bov started to leak, whether or not the leak was from age or increased boost I dunno.

We got it to work, just had to find the right angle. That HKS BOV is enormous. I had a boost leak years ago and dumped my plastic 2g BOV for a metal Evo one, then got hardpipes and went with Forge. 53k is ultra low mileage. Are you the original owner?
