For those that don't know, to use a ARC twin entry intercooler, the stock BOV return piping needs to be removed.

The previous owner of my car removed the entire stock setup and installed some HKS atmo's. Since that isn't really my thing, i want to go back to the stock setp, but retain the ARC cooler.

What i want to do is create some custom piping back to the intake. I plan to use seperate both BOV using say 10mm ID piping and running past the ARC intake piping (where the red dots are) and joining them up with a Y joint before returning to the stock collection point.

Anyone see any problems with doing this? Will there be problems as the new return piping will have a smaller cross-sectional area then the orginal piping?

I'm pretty sure it will be alright, but just want to make sure :D

I have all the stock piping and the car will be runnning around the 380-400awkw once finished

Cool - i will make the return lines as big as possible, i just said 10mm as an example.

I will be using the stock return inlet. :-)

Good stuff mate, my single return line goes from near the cooler and up into the intake pipe so your idea should be OK, will be awesome to see this on the road :yes:

It's going to be a weapon lol.

Yeah use whatever diameter the outlet is from the BOV.

Just use some rubber hose, run it along the bottom of the cooler (cable ties are fine). Connect to the stock recirc point - job done!

Exactly how i planned to do it - Thanks

As long as you're not expecting any serious amount of air to flow through 2x 10mm pipes. You're going to need the same sort of pipe/duct area as the original setup, and you're not going to get it to pass through the little gaps left in the original guard hole. You'lll have to pass them up into the engine bay next to the chassis rail or something similar.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
