I just got my charge pipe for my AWIC, and im a bit confused. Then again my information is coming from a US site that prides itself on not answering questions directly :rolleyes:

According to what ive been reading, the BPV for the stock turbo was located on the chargepipe, hence using a V1-2 chargepipe with the BPV coming off of it would work with some cutting....however i just got a chargepipe from someone that came off the your RS model and theres no extension for the BPV....so where the heck does it go??


Also after some research the loom is more or less the same as a EJ20G motor, what kinda tuning options are available. Im thinking about doing a PP6 piggy back for the time being, but eventually i might go full standalone, any suggestions?

That is what I was told would work in place of the stock piping

This is what I received and I'm being told is the stock piping on a JDM RS model with a AWIC

That's the piece of pipe after the hose with the BPV on it. I wasn't aware that it was removable from the intercooler either....

Ah dang. Worst comes to worst I'll get a silicone pipe and the weld the bpv to either that piece or the IC, someone on legacy central had done that


EDIT: found a pic of the missing hose, i PMed the guy who sold it to me and see if maybe he forgot it(yea right....even though i was clear i wanted everything from the turbo to the IC :rolleyes: ) If not then it looks like an easy piece to fab up
