Couple Questions

I have R56 with ALTA intake intake hose, turboback, FMIC, and I had the ECU until it fell into pieces but I was peaking at liek 17PSI. I had the forge BOV and I hear thats bad for more boost than stock. I was wondering if boost tubes or a new BOV would help any. I also dont want to drill holes into anything / Im sick of taking the front bumper off. Any suggestions???

Exactly what are you trying to accomplish? would boost tubes or a new BOV help with...? Drill holes?

An actual goal or better question might be easier to answer.

Ok well I want a new BOV to work with the greater boost I know the ALTA one you have to drill a hole. I was wondering how people set up like HKS BOVs. Also how much do the boost tubes actully help. Sorry bout the confusing mess up there haha

You can get the alta vacuum port then you don't have to drill, but don't forget the blockoff plate. Helix is still giving a discount on theirs all the stuff comes with it, no drilling.

I have the vacuum port already for my boost guage but I might go with the helix since its the same price as the alta one. I can just put a T on that vacuum line so I have have my guage and BOV at the same time right?

I'm not gonna give you an definite answer because I do not know. Can someone else chime in here?
