Couplers.
If I keep the stock intercooler for now,
and just get a zzp upper charge pipe,
then should I use the stock rubber or zzp silicone?
I hear the stock rubber ones are good with the stock intercoolers cheaper plastic ends because it flexes well.
Thoughts?
Opinions?
The more the better.
Feel free to chime in, and on any of the above for that matter, please.

This is what i say buy..... Get the zzp charge pipe inner cooler kit... Then get a forge bpv and dont worry about a bov like mine i ran into a ton of headaches. Opening under high boost not opening under low. Ect. Catch can get a modern performance one. And of course get tuned. Zzp couplers as well stock ones are a vitch and when ive tuned people more than 23 lbs they blow off... So i say the elbows.that zzp sell as well.
zzp dont have a bpv they have bovs... When you get tuned and get a intake youll hear your bpv if your worried about sound. Id rather have a bpv less of a worry. On high boost my piston in my bov opens up and let boost out while wot so yeah i have a stiffffff ass spring in it as well

im not sure where you mount that. I dont think anyone on here has ordered that and done a review on it?
I would just do the Forge Motorsport BPV or leave it stock. An Intake will make all the turbo blow off noises you want.

I may hold off I guess. It doesn't sound like a need to have.
I don't really have the money to blow right now. Just trying to get the car in good shape while I'm on this side of the pound before going over to Ireland.
Figured if I'm going to order parts, and tune should do it now while I'm on this side encase I need something.
Sounds like the upper charge pipe and intercooler are more then likely going to be an issue, so even though I don't have the money for it, I guess I have to replace those now, rather then later when I'm over there. Also seems like an Oil catch can is a must also.
I guess I can write ZZP and see where that BVP of theirs even goes. Would be nice if anyone here tried it out. It's cheaper then the forge, so would be nice to have a review on it.
I dont' care about the noise so much. I like it, it's a bonus, but just heard that the stock BVP leaks boost, so figured if I'm getting a tune, then maybe I should replace it.

So Down pipe on car, have intake read to go on car as soon as HP Tuners get here.
Oil catch can ordered.
I need the intercooler and charge pipes, but really don't have the money for it, but guess I'm going to have to get it very soon anyway.
Have to get it before I go I guess. Going to need it.
So BVP. Forge sounds good, but still wondering if anyone one here at all knows anything at all about ZZP's BVP.
Someone here must have tried it. Have they not sold a single one?
