For those of you running WRX BPVs

How did you go from the large diameter of the WRX recirc tube to the comparatively small diameter of the fitting on the intake elbow?
I just picked up my WRX BPV yesterday, and didn't realize how large the WRX tube was compared to the stock SS tube.

I'm not sure, but couldn't you just use a pvc pipe reducer? It would just have to fit into the BPV hose and reduce to the recirculated intake hose...
Make sense?

Sounds about right.
I'll have to see if I can find one at home depot.

i just did this yesturday
u need to take the bov to an auto place and get a rad hose that will fit the big bov end. something close to 1 1/2. then go get a new 3/4 about 5inchs worth. while your at it ask for about 2 feet of vac hose that fits the bov end, and also get a 1inch bolt nut thing to plug the hole in the intake.
Now go to Home Depto, take both the rad hose and the 3/4inch hose with you. head right to the pluming area and have them find u something that will fit the rad hose and the 3/4... from there i think you can do the rest
with the vac hose, dont forget to get a duble male end or about 4 feet of length... Oh and you should also get new clamps for everything

I'll try to go by Home Depot this week and see what I can figure out.
The BPV I got came with the stock WRX hose, so I'll use that instead of a rad hose.
