I understand the EFRs built in features and their benefits. I also understand though the desire to sacrifice some of the benefits of full recirc in order to gain that distinctive bov sound with a dual port.

I was curious why he decided to cut the mount (potentially sacrificing its strength) and bolt the Turbosmart Dual ports directly to the EFR Turbos rather than spending the extra time to weld flanges for them. I haven't seen the mount "pre-cut" so I wasn't sure how much material had been removed or if it was jeopardizing the mounts structural integrity. As Rid3_Famous pointed out this shouldn't be a concern so Tonys method will work just fine.
I think that is where the confusion is. Because of the design of the CRV being in the housing, I don't think it is possible to relocate it. Or if there is, there isn't any off the shelf product that can do it. Since it seemed like you were suggesting to use the block off plate and adding flanges to the charge pipes I think we all misunderstood, as using the block off plates means recirculation is no longer possible.

Here is how the mount looks uncut. I think the bulk of the support is the gusset area as opposed to what was removed. Probanly 2/3rds of the M is missing now on mine.



Also I posted a video of the first start in case you missed it, although the sound is kind of bad it can give you a slight idea. I'll definitely be recording more in the future!
