BOV recirculation question
I know that when installing a BOV, I should recirculate the release back into the intake, before the turbo, due to a metering issue. My question is, does it matter if I recirculate *before* the AFM (ie near the filter box), or *after* the ARM (ie the plastic tubing between the AFM and turbo? If it has to go after the AFM, does anybody have any ideas how to connect the 1" hosing to that plastic tubing?

You don't absolutely NEED to recirc it. It creates a slight rich condition when opening as the ecu has already calculated that air... but I run mine open to atmosphere & it still runs great.
If you are going to recirc it, you must connect it back in AFTER the AFM, but BEFORE the turbo. So you will need to connect it back into that rubber boot connecting the AFM to turbo. I did that the first time & I used a copper fitting & cut a hole in that boot to feed it back in. Use some of ya engineering skillz!

Nismo619, that Blitz BOV isnt going to have any benefit over the Turbo XS one. Like Nismopick said, they're not a generic brand. And with the TurboXS BOV atleast you'd be getting something new. A new Blitz BOV is going to be rediculously priced compared to the TurboXS.
HeatRave, when you screw the tubing into the intake hose use an expoxy or some sort of sealer/adhesive to secure the pipe.
