There wasnt much options when it came to the air filter as i had already taken most of the engine bay space where fresh air would enter so i went with a simple short location, right infront of the exhaust manifold. I used a dome air filter mounted to 2" pipe with 2 outlets for the stock boost controller and for the blow off valve recirculation. While on the subject of the BOV, it was mounted inbetween the heat exchanger and the intake plenum. There have been many arguments on the where abouts of where the BOV should be mounted but in the end of the day it will still do its job effectively. The BOV i went with is a Greddy RS that was given to me by a friend. I'm pretty certain it is a copy but it will suffice as not many have the option of recirculating the air back to the turbo. The recirc hose does look a little ugly in the engine bay but it is a must for the car to pass registration requirements as it was standard on the 4EFTE engine.
