I’ve seen on some forums people talking about not spending money on Renntechs BOV which is $1000 and getting a reputable BOV and having a welder weld it to the pipes
anyone done this?
anyone done this?

Once I figure out these turbopipes I will be making myself one. Basically you remove one side of your turbo intake pipe and then intercooler inlet pipe and weld some exhaust piping the size of your BOV to the intercooler inlet pipe. Our Intercoolers connect and Y split at the end tank of the intercooler (black plastic piece) so you only need it on one side. Still unsure of where to connect it for pressure but, Renntech connects it at the rear port by the intercooler outlet.

You do not want to hook up the exhaust to the intake BOV. It would be vented to the atmosphere.

Sorry, reading comprehension issue on my part. Carry on.
