Default BOV with FMIC (I know, another BOV question)

Let me start by saying i've read quite a bit on here about BOV's and there seems to be the same question asked week in, week out.

It seems that you're best off sticking with the OEM which is why i've never changed mine.

However... I'm now having a mafless ecu, FMIC and induction kit.

It has been recommended to get a BOV to go with the FMIC.

Your opinions and advice are needed. Also a supplier if anyone on here can recommend a product and why.

Thanks in advance.

Mine, as advised by Harvey Smith and Bob Rawle, runs a Forge Recirculating type, which vents back into the intake just before the throttle body.

It's still quite loud, since I ALSO have a humongous cone filter on as I too am running MAF-less....well, the car is, I always have been.

GT FMIC's do a pipe specially for that type of d/v, mine being the one that is NOT bolted to the intercooler, it is a 98 UK car.
I can put up a pic if that helps?

+1 harvey told me this too.

i have one of his fmic and the pipework has a take off for a bov, then you can fit a pipe to the underside of the bov and vent back into the intake.

Thank you gent's (AGAIN).

The FMIC is one of Bob (AZTEC) new tube and fin!

I shall start researching the Forge BOV and see what i can find. Hopefully one of the traders on her will come up with the goods.

Here's how the pipe work stands at the mo

my intercooler pipe has a take off welded into it where the bov fits,which is roughly where it was on a top mount, then you need a bov thats recirc and put the recirc pipe to where it was on the original set up to vent back into the system
