Default FMIC... Where does the VTA BOV go?

Ok, a VTA BOV ala Bailey etc.. not for everyone and to be honest I'm 50%/50% on them but...

The Bailey Kit for the V5 STi TMIC appears to bolt directly onto the front with two bolts.. if an FMIC is plumbed in where can you fit the BOV if not on the intercooler... is it an idea to weld a boss onto the FMIC pipework (seen this done on other cars) ?

Thanks

You can weld a boss on but personally I would sell it and get another one that goes straight on to the 1.5" diameter outlet on the inlet pipe back from the intercooler. As fitted to 92-98 Scoobys.

I see, this can be done with the new FMIC pipework in place?

Searching on this for pics..

Great lads, BTW noticed the heat wrap on some of the pipework, some both in & out & some both done. Worth doing before I fit? What kind of gains can be had ?

BTW if any of you lot can be @rsed... a closup pic of the conections to the BOV would be worth a couple of virtual pints!
