Currently fitting my FMIC, and waiting on a couple of hoses and clamps to align it, and finish it off.



I will be running NO BOV, * I should also add i WILL NOT be running an aftermarket boost controller (for the time being),
so my question is what breather pipes do i bung, and what do i re-use on the FMIC pipe-work

(I have had a quick search but not found a relevant thread)

Was hoping there is some sort of guide?

if not i'll post up pictures of the pipes in question :thumbs:

The ones that would normally go into the BOV! Did you just remove the valve or did your car not have one beforehand?

One in the intake pipe between MAF and turbo (25mm ish). Ones normally in the coldpipe (25mm ish). And one little 4mm one that actuates the valve.

Bunged so far:

The pipe circled in blue, and the corresponding pipe on the Intake pipe. now the bigger of the pipes circled in red i have connected, and been told to bung the small pipe. is this correct?



Now for the other side of the bay :rolleyes:

The pipe circled in purple connects to the nipple on my apex intake pipe.
Now the pipe circled in red, there is no fitting on the new boost pipe to accommodate this. i have bought a quick tap if i do need to fit this



quick tap



all the outstanding parts have arrived today so can get cracking when i know exactly how to proceed :p
