Fez, i think your's is right.
Here's mine: (IMG:http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo34/djuosnteisn/DSC06054.jpg) in the bottom of the pic, bpv is pretty much right behind the radiator cap. OP, i think your pipe is backwards, or built backwards. (IMG:http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo34/djuosnteisn/DSC06058.jpg) You can see it better in this one, right under the elbow in the hot pipe. Black forge bpv. |

can't see either one of you guys' pictures, but I'll check em out when I get home.
dj, bov is right behind the cap and I have a full TS dualport which doesn't really fit under the fmic top pipe and is a complete bitch to fit in there. GAH!! |

LOL, i'm running a turbosmart bov right now to. VTA, and fit is tight. I bent the hot pipe bracket slightly to raise it up a bit, and it fits with probably quarter inch air gap max.
Oh yeah, and OP, when you get your pipe turned around, and bpv in the right spot, don't forget to ditch that crazy right angle bend. You will soon have your ping back. |

You have your pipe installed backwards. The BOV bracket should be next to the throttle body.

Your not the only one who told them the instructions are wrong. I called them last year about them, guess they are really lazy! The directions that come with the kits are for the very first kit they designed, then they changed the kit but didn't update the directions!
