New guy needs help

[EVTBernie]

Im kind of new to the dsm world so I am not to familer with these cars but Im in need of help. So today I got some upper Intercooler piping hard pipes and an HKS elbow and a new BOV. So I removed the old elbow, and removed the old pipes + the BOV. I put on the new IC piping and ran into a slight problem. Number one- I upgraded to a RFL bov but if I was to bolt that into the stock location there is no hood clearance. Number 2- I plan on upgrading to MAF so I'd be removing my air intake system, but for now Im leaving it there. There is a pipe running out of the intake system near the turbo that will not work with the new pipes so I am unsure what to do. Anyone that can help me out would be greatly apreciated.

It sounds like you hot an atmospheric dump blow off valve(correct me if I'm wrong). If you did you shouldn't them on dsm's as they release metered air out of the system. The hose by the turbo that you are talking about is probably the one that goes to the stock blow off valve. Ask the little search box in the top right hand corner of dsm tuners any question you have, it is very smart!

good luck

Yeah it's the tubo XS RFL. I know it's not good to vent, but Im going MAF. I already have a nice 3 1/2 inch maf, just have to get the translator. Im just wondering how to take care of the clearance issue.
