Recirculation Idea

[XECLIPZEX]

I have been looking for a good upper i/c pipe to buy but I cant find the right one so I want to make one. Giving this a lot of thought has brought up some ideas for making it. Since my new uicp will be eliminating my 3" mas and my translator I will have to go back to recirculating in order for my car to run right. I have a 4" Forced Performance aluminum intake pipe that does not have a recirculation port, but I dont want to have to get rid of this intake so can I just weld a port on the uicp so the bov will dump back into the uicp. I know you are probobly thinking, wouldnt that defeat the purpose of running a bov, possibly, but what is the difference between dumping it back into the uicp or the intake pipe, because no matter where it goes there will still be pressure in the complete intake system. So, my question is will this work? If not why? I have searched for an answer but cannot find one.

If it is routed back into the intake, it will help keep the turbo spooled between shifts. Not sure though about other things.

Also the purpose of the BOV is to release the pressure from the UICP. Dumping it right back into the UICP will completely defeat this purpose and can actually cause damage to your turbo.

It wouldn't actually do anything. "Dumping" assumes going from higher pressure to lower pressure. You would need to add a port to your intake.

Like already mentioned, dumping back after turbo will not work because there is no pressure difference to make the BOV dump so you'll get compressor surge instead, it would be the same as not running a bov at all. The best solution, like wret suggested, is to have a 1" ID alluminum pipe welded on the FP alluminum cast pipe.

Sorry yall, Im an idiot. I should have thought about that. Especially the pressure differences making the bov work. Anyways thanks for the help.
