Yes. I had material removed from the inside of my stock crash bar to allow enough room for the intercooler in TopGunz kit. It was only a few mm and then TIG welded the seam where the material was removed from to make it strong again.

Now that I’m done with my flex tuning, all I have to do is prepare for a 2300 mile round trip Denver-Los Angeles (cuz you can’t say your car is reliable until you’ve driven it through isolated desert hundreds of miles from decent civilization). And decide what’s next.
I haven’t seen anybody run a BOV other than the TiAl, any reason? I’m looking into running a HKS, and aside of doubld checking flange size and spring rates are compatible I don’t see why not.
Anyone to stop me? I need a HKS in my life anyways so even if it doesn’t work well on this, I’ll put it on a different car

Redondoaveb and I are using a silencer we got from (Lspec?) that works pretty well. I had to modify it and drill in more holes and remove a screen in it because it was causing compressor surge but it’s better now and that gave me a little more volume back (the silencer works that well). They said they were redesigning it and would ship me the new design free of charge but that hasn’t happened. You can ask him about that

Do you know how much they are ?

Told me $250 for first batch (which was a while ago) and 300 after that. Just followed up with him if they ever finished the new design

Alex (L-Spec) hasn't had any time to fabricate any new one's. He's been extremely busy. A lot of his spare time is being used on my car. I'll remind him about getting you a redesigned one when he get's back to fabricating them again.

Because Tial is top of the line in performance and quality and made in the US. HKS was good when they were HKS U.S.A. but since they sold to China their quality and reputation has gone to ****.

What is your goal for switching from a great, reliable BPV to one of cheaper quality? That and do you even know how many cfms an ssqv can flow? The turbosmart dual was used a lot on the water setups prior to my kit and it couldn't flow even close to what was needed.

Plus, I dont know how the HKS will sound on the SC but on a turbo those things sound like a cartooney bird with their high chirps and whistles. The ones I have heard anyway.

Oh I’m not in the slightest rush or annoyed. Had he never offered, I wouldn’t have asked for a new design. Drilling a few more holes in it helped with the surge and gave me a bit of volume back which I liked. He did respond and expects a couple months

I’m big into sound tuning getting my car to sound exactly the way I want. Guess I like the choochoobirds I like the HKS option also because if it doesn’t make me happy on the G I can recirculate it on my WRX (which currently has zero choochoo noises).
Good answer about the CFM flow though that’s exactly the response I was looking for. Found a video of someone running one on a Vortech BRZ though so perhaps it could work
