Dood, IMO, if you can't find the turbo, you have no business being under the hood, or even driving it. But that's just me being elitist. :wink: I'm all for educating him, but perhaps this guy needs some hands-on attention. (I won't do it. :D)
As for legacycontinues.. well, dood, you have this knack for pushing people's buttons, and, incredibly well, I may add. I've had to learn to put a BS filter betwixt my mouth and brain, so what's stopping you?

Yep! really easy to do, sounds better too 8) it replaces a big black boxy thing.. there are 3 hoses coming into the mug you have to make adapters for.. you see 2 in the picture, and one in underneathe. Search for the CoffeeMug and you'll find stuff!

so let it be written, so let it be done.

And come on, at some point earlier in our car-modifying hobbies we were there... The interested amateurs learn best from the experienced hobbyists, and the cycle of life thus continues. Or something like that. Whatever. :roll:

A K&N panel air filter and the coffee mug are two good starter mods for this car. Good luck crappyrice!

Yes. It recirculates back into the intake. It's mounted to the underside of that plastic pipe at the rear middle of the engine bay that goes between the turbo and the throttle body.

The intake was designed to muffle the sound, which is fairly quiet to begin with since it's a recirculating valve and boost pressure isn't very high. If you listen very very very very carefully you might hear it.

is there a diffference between a recirculating valve and a blow off valve, or is it just another name for the same thing?
