When at speed, your throttlers are open being forced with air from the turbos. If you suddely take your foot off the pedal the turbos DO NOT stop spoolin immediately. The air pressure will build and cause a surge that may return to your turbo housing. Just like detonation, it can prematurly wear out parts or completely destroy your turbos.
That car has the HKS SSQV BOVs (alot of jargon), all the owner did was remove the factory units and replaced them with those. Where the factory units may cause the 'goose honk' sound, these will give the noise any HONDA or N/A guy fears...the whistle of a BOV. As for the placement, WHERE ELSE WOULD U PUT THEM! There isnt any room to put them any where else.

They're right after the two intercoolers. You have in the inlet into the intercoolers, from the turbos, then the piping leading from the intercoolers into the upper plenum, that is where the Recirculation valves are.
That is about the only place to put after market BOVs (Blow-Off Valves), unless of course, you get custom hard piping made, or HKS offers a great package for about $300. I think Z1 or JWT offers a combination kit consisting of the HKS Hard Piping kit, and HKS Super-Suquential Blow-Off Valves, all for about $850. Which if you add it all up, your saving quite a pretty penny.
Looks awesome under the hood too
