Does not make a huge difference where you want to place it. People have argued to put it on the hot or cold side for a while now!
Seems most FMIC kits have the BOV attachment just somewhere on the cold side around 6-12" from the throttle body!

That's where mine feeds into, and it was fitted by the late, great, Harvey.

You'll need an adaptor, and a silicon joiner.

Pic of mine with my home made adaptor, to give you a rough idea. Mine is an early car, so not totally accurate for your needs.



Fitted:

If you need an adaptor plate let me know. I have a couple spare. (depending on age of your car)

You should already have the take off on the FMIC pipe, mate.

You need 1 adaptor plate, 1 hose joiner from the FMIC pipe to joiner and 1 hose joiner from recirc back to the inlet pipe.

I think one of these should fit then mate. They are both Harvey items. Very nice quality, finish and fit and both unused.

PM me if you want one
