It doesn't matter where the BOV goes on the pipes.
Hardpipes just look nicer. They still pop-off, although not as often.

Hardpipes kit
Alrighty..
What the heck do the HKS hardpipe kits do anyway? Does it just make the engine bay look nicer?
Also, if I were to upgrade to a front mount IC, would I be able to use the HKS hardpipe kit? I've heard somewhere that they dont go together.
Lastly, I've heard of BOV's being welded onto the hardpipes. Again, if I were to go with a FMIC, then where would the BOV go?
Thanks.

I heard hardpipes are better than stock because they don't balloon when the pressure increases.
he's rite, your using your boost more effieciently since its not being used to expand the stock rubber hoses. i would also think that boost would come on just a tad sooner too. if you buy a hardpipe kit, they usually come with pipes. so if youre gonna get a fmic soon, then dont buy a hardpipe kit.LowerJerZey said:I heard hardpipes are better than stock because they don't balloon when the pressure increases.

So rather than spend like $400 on the hardpipes kit, spend the extra $600 on a small FMIC?
If you're gonna fork out the money for a stock twins intercooler such as the GReddy 3 row, think hard about if you ever intend on going single. The 3 row can be used for smaller singles such as the SP60 but that is about it. For larger turbos, I suggest the 4 row or the HKS Type R.MoogieBoogie said:

Yes they do look nicer. You can use tbolt clamps to ensure they dont pop off. The tbolts could crush the stock piping...badmuthrfkr said:It doesn't matter where the BOV goes on the pipes.

If you dont have the cash for an intercooler, you can buy the hardpipe kit and still resell them for close to what you paid for. after all, they're just PIPES! (Dont scratch them up or no one will buy them)
HKS boasts better throttle response and more hp but I've never seen the numbers...
I have the HKS hardpipe kit with a Blitz FMIC, plus my HKS SS BOV is mounted to the hardpipe. I believe that it was welded to the hardpipe actually, so you shouldn't havea problem doing hat you want to do.
Isn't ara running a greddy 3-row with his t-78 setup?badmuthrfkr said:
