I wanted to try these dual port valves out because they are 50% atmospheric and 50% recirculating. The hope is to get the BOV salute but still keep some of the benefits of the recirculating design. To put the block off plates and traditional BOVs would mean to not get any of the recirculating benefits at all.

Actually Synapse offers a recirc/atmospherically ventalated BoV and are arguably the nicest designed and most advanced BoV on the market

^ Is that what you are using? I think you have the AAM kit as well right? Does it fit in the EFR housing?

My question wasn't clear. I understand the desire for having dual port. I was wondering why you went with cutting the mount rather than running block off plates and dual ports on flanges.

yes, I have installed the kit on my own car as well. However, I tried to do something a little different than your situation. I opted to test fit an aftermarket wastegate design with no luck. The canisters are far too large for the space provided to work with, so I decided to stick with the factory high boost BW wastegate actuators.

Aviator - in all honesty the amount of material he removed for the mount probably has little to no effect on the rigidity or integrity of the mount. Its very well built, and I would argue its probably stronger even than the cast aluminum ones that come factory on the car.

Ryan, maybe this will help answer what I think you are asking. Borg Warner designed the recirculating valves to reduce lag when you're off the throttle (e.g. shifting gears). Instead of dumping out through an atmospheric blow off valve, they recirculate back through the compressor housing to provide faster response once you're back on the throttle. The hybrid versions give you the staple bov sound (though it may be a bit quieter) yet still provide some benefit from the recirculating setup.
